Project
Bandaloop
Clutch (hang on) Choreographers: Bianca Cabrera, Jessica Perino, Marlene Strang Brings cartoon wonderland of delightfully outrageous dance characters to the Bay Area! Protagonists are paranoid mosquitoes, highly disorganized gaggles of girls, pseudo super heroes and one little red corvette. Video games, boxing matches, shadow puppet competitions, thumb wars and fits of obsessive scratching lead to explosive and bizarre dances. Clutch (hang on) is a medley of strange and screwball situations bringing the levity of make believe to anxiety, rivalry & delusions of grandeur. |
