Artistic Director and Choreographer Ellen Sinopoli will encourage audience members to make their own interpretations of whimsical dance suites ranging from the graceful Animal Rhythms, a wonderful exploration of movements of gazelles, giraffes and gibbons to the high-flying and fearless romping energy of Coming & Going. Sound snippets of poetry, recorded voice and the delightful crossover of classical to funk to jazz music meld excitement and innovation of dance movement to visual imagery. Whether a new patron or an established soul familiar to the nuance of modern dance, Ellen Sinopoli and her dancers will artfully engage your senses with their breadth of originality, vibrant spirit and sharply defined dance athleticism. The performances and programs of the Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company are funded, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.
