Pi Dance Theatre is thrilled to bring another installment of Urban Grove Dancing to Clinton Community Garden. In addition to premiering "Coincidence" this season, Pi Dance Theatre is reprising several pieces from its early repertory with "Ah Geez Easy" and "Quiet Persistence." Company member Hannah Seidel will be presenting "In Every Other Direction."  Also included will be the ever popular "Dance on a Spot," where audience members create a piece based on a fun composition exercise that offers a primer on how to watch modern dance. Here are selections for the performances this weekend.  For more information, refer to the Pi Dance website at pidance.org.

"Coincidence" (Premier)
Music by Miles Davis Quartet
Choreography: The company

Coincidence was created as a problem solver. We needed a new piece, couldn't get dancer schedules to coordinate in a short amount of time. So dancers individually developed 3 phrases of unique material that Taylor then gently arranges into a coherent order, resulting in choreographic sparks across the stage.
