Ormao Dance Company to present 'In the Round,' works from different choreographers

See the work of five choreographers in one show this weekend.

The Ormao Dance Company will perform “In the Round” at the company’s Black Box Theater, a performance featuring multiple choreographers showcasing their own pieces.

“I think that that’s the meat of the show, is that we have five different choreographers’ perspectives,” said Janet Johnson, the company’s artistic director. “Dancers get to dig into lots of different kinds of ideas and ways of moving and ways of constructing choreography, and the audience gets to experience a lot of different things.”

Set in the Black Box Theater, the performance will have an intimate feel, Johnson said.

Douglas’ piece will be followed by work from Rosely Conz about motherhood.

“The stories of these moms and finding the universality in that, but also the really tender, beautiful nuggets that are specific to each of those moms,” Johnson said. “So that’s sort of a thread through the whole thing.”
