Rachel Thorne Germond Dance & Friends (RTG Dance) return to Chicago June 22-24 to perform at Links Hall.Featuring works by choreographer Rachel Thorne Germond (Chicago/NY/VA) and choreography by guest artists Li Chiao Ping (Wisconsin), Janet Schmid (Chicago), Jen Stone (Virginia) the Space Movement Project (Chicago) and Johannah Wininsky (Chicago). Germond will present two recent solos: Scarlett, I Dare Ya danced by Germond is part of a longer work title Look at Me that explores images of women, gender, and sexuality. Germond moves sensually and daringly to music by Tommy James and the Shondelles, summoning the essence and paradox of desire. Under the Rainbow, a haunting solo danced by Megan Thompson evokes the sense of a specific place/memory. Critic Laura Molzahn of the Chicago Reader has described this solo as “a perfect balance of reserve and emotion”. Rejoinder (1999) is a passionate duet for two women who “caressingly plunge and aggressively soar throughout the space in crisp, clean movements that abound with energy and grace”. Other works on the program include solos, duets and group works by the invited guest artists listed.
