UTC-04:00Location
MuCCC | Rochester, NY
Ruben T. Ornelas will premiere a solo, “Four Spheres,” set to music by Jason Roebke. Laurie MacFarlane will present “Bella and the Witch,” a piece inspired by the folktales of Baba Yaga and Vasilisa, with props by Martha Schermerhorn and an original score by Parker Callister. Described as “a creepy, bizarre world of witches, moving trees and stolen light” (City Magazine), Bella and the Witch promises to thrill and amuse.
Performers include Marissa Engel, Nanako Horikawa Mandrino, an0th3r.l0p3z, John McDairmant, Alaina Olivieri, and Nico Malijan.
Commotion Dance Theater specializes in multi-disciplinary, movement-based works, offering “a light-hearted performance that required zero effort to enjoy and “a very different type of dance performance” (City Newspaper). Under the direction of long-time creative partners Laurie MacFarlane and Ruben T. Ornelas, Commotion has appeared locally at MuCCC, the Avon Opera House, Writers and Books, and Karpeles Manuscript Museum in Buffalo. This is their eighth appearance at the Rochester Fringe.
