Company C Contemporary Ballet is pleased to present the fourth annual Oakland Dance Festival, June 16-24, 2007, at the Malonga Casquelourd Center for the Arts. The 2007 Oakland Dance Festival will showcase three distinguished Bay Area dance companies; Company C Contemporary Ballet, ODC/Dance and Jo Kreiter’s Flyaway Productions. Unique to this year’s program, Company C Contemporary Ballet has invited Oakland-based Pro Arts Gallery to curate an exhibit in the theater lobby at the Malonga Casquelourd Center for the Arts. Pro Arts will present work by Susan Matthews, a painter and percussionist whose paintings are based on her musical studies in Cuba. This exhibit will feature paintings with an Afro-Cuban folkloric theme. For tickets and information, please contact 925.708.0752 or visit www.companycballet.org.
The Oakland Dance Festival, the brainchild of Charles Anderson, Artistic Director of Company C Contemporary Ballet, continues in its fourth year of bringing an eclectic mix of dance to downtown Oakland. In the midst of declining dance in Oakland, the Festival not only offers the East Bay community an opportunity to experience high-quality, distinctive dance performances which showcase the diversity and artistic range of Bay Area dance, but also aims at revitalizing an otherwise underutilized theatre in Oakland at the Malonga Casquelourd Center for the Arts.
Highlights of the 2007 Oakland Dance Festival program will include Company C Contemporary Ballet’s performance of Paul Taylor’s 3 Epitaphs, NYCB soloist Alexandre Proia’s Rhapsody in Blue, and Artistic Director Charles Anderson’s world premiere, Egyptian Two Step; ODC presents KT Nelson’s Scramble and Brenda Way’s Book of Hours; and Flyaway Productions will present Jo Kreiter’s The Grim Arithmetic of Water.

ODC THEATER
San Francisco, CA
Sea of My Soul (World Premiere)
In this world premiere by choreographer Patrick Corbin, composer Thomas Wilbrandt’s highly creative modernization of themes by Vivaldi is a perfect match for Corbin’s choreographic talent. Corbin, a former member of the Joffrey Ballet and a leading dancer for the Paul Taylor Dance Company for many years, draws on his roots in both ballet and modern dance to choreograph his third work for CoCCB.
Rhapsody in Blue (World Premiere)
This world premiere marks CoCCB’s second collaboration with former NYCB soloist Alexandre Proia. This pas de trois is set to one of Gershwin’s most famous classical-jazz compositions.
Just Like That
Two hapless young men encounter an alluring woman in this amusing and sexy work set to a hip-hip version of Richard Adler and Jerry Ross’s “Whatever Lola Wants (Lola Gets.).” Choreography by Joo Hwan Cho.
Echoes of Innocence (World Premiere)
This intriguing and provocative look at the lost innocence of childhood, choreographed by Charles Anderson, is set to a haunting score by Ingram Marshall.
Hush (Excerpts)
Charles Anderson’s graceful exploration of movement quality, choreographed to the sublime music by Bobbi McFerrin and Yo-Yo Mah, rides the edge between modern dance and ballet.
