INDY'S WEEKLY ALTERNATIVE NEWSPAPER HIGHLIGHTING ARTS, ENTERTAINMENT AND SOCIAL JUSTICE

DK sees changes

Dance Kaleidoscope will see some changes following their production of Seasons April 16-18. First, this will be their last performance at the Indianapolis Civic Theatre. As Civic moves onto the campus of Marian College, DK will move into the Indiana Repertory Theatre downtown after 10 years of performing at Civic.

And, André Megerdichian (a recipient of a Creative Renewal Grant from the Indianapolis Arts Council this year) and Lisa Long will retire from the company after seven and eight years with DK, respectively.

The concert, Seasons, is a revival of a 1993 full-length modern ballet that uses the cycle of Nature as an allegory for a man’s life. The concert features Kenoth Shane Patton as Everyman and the return of Ricardo Melendez, former DK dancer and current artistic director of Ballet de San Juan, to a role that was originally choreographed on him. Conceived and choreographed by artistic director David Hochoy, the audience is led through a seasonal journey featuring the music of Debussy, The Beatles, Astor Piazzola and Arvo Part.

Performances are Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $26-$30. Call 923-4597 for tickets. For more information about DK, call 940-6555, www.dancekal.org.
