Matter Dance Company presents: Step into the Ring!

MDC is once again proving that they can create something for everyone with their fourth full-length dance extravaganza, Step into the Ring! This year, follow us under the big top where our ringleaders present a sideshow spectacle! Clowns, live dolls, and an even live-er band?! This is not your typical dance show! MDC promises a magical, make-believe masquerade. All you have to do is take a peek under the curtain. By the way, that peek is only gonna cost you 20 bucks. Not too shabby considering MDC was Chicago Reader, Readers’ Choice For Best Dance Company in Chicago, 2008 and 2009 and Chicago Reader, Readers’ Choice For Best Choreographer (Carisa Barreca), 2009. Step into the Ring features the choreography of Gail Adduci Gogliotti, Jessica Horvath, Jessica Hoversen, Dustyn Martincich, Mike Ford, Megan Mulherin, Christina Savino, Mandy Work, and Carisa Barreca (winner of the Ann Barzel Award for Comedy/Entertainment in Dance award). This year we are excited and honored to spotlight the choreography from members of Chicago Dance Crash! Denita Inez and David Chase of Chicago Dance Crash have created a new piece for MDC that they describe as “a bit raw, smart and has just enough quirk to keep the big top floating. Watch out for the mimes. They may not say much, but they can move in this piece that explores the emotional context of circus life.” Ticket Info: Tickets: $20 for general admission, $10 for Children, Students (with valid id), and Seniors Phone: (773) 342-4141 www.adventurestage.org
