SUMMARY:
Marin's 21st Century Dance Collaboration is a showcase performance of original work by bay area
choreographers and composers to be held at the Marin Center Showcase Theater September 22 - 24,
2000.
M21CDC includes 11 Bay Area choreographers (5 Marin, 2 San Francisco, 3 East Bay, 1 South Bay)
who have created new choreographic works in collaboration with a composer or a sound designer.
These cutting edge performance works features over 75 performers and incorporates slide and video
visuals, exotic instrumentation, props, ethnic costuming, and spoken word.
In over half of the pieces presented, the collaboration between choreographer and composer has resulted
in the musicians performing live in conjunction with the dancers. The dance pieces themselves cover a
range of styles, from ethnic to ballet, and encompass a broad field of inspirational subjects.
M21CDC is funded in part by a Marin Arts Council Community Art Grant and with support from
Autodesk, Bank of America, CHAT Communication Services, Great Escapes, Inc., Miracle Mile
Veterinary Hospital, Nicole Schapiro & Associates, Robert C. Placak & Associates, and others; and is
produced by Hilary Kretchmer Fulp, Director of Zero Gravity Dance Theater and Lorien Fenton,
Director of Dance Outré.
Besides producing this sold out event last year both Hilary and Lorien have a long history of producing
dance and encouraging interdisciplinary and collaborative artistic endeavors in Marin County and beyond.
Hilary Kretchmer Fulp was the co-producer of both the 1995 and 1997 Marin County Festival of Dance
productions. Lorien Fenton's company, Dance Outré, performed continuously throughout the Bay Area,
Northern California and Oregon between 1989 and 1996. Hilary and Lorien are also co-editors of
cre8tivez.com, an online arts magazine showcasing Bay Area artists in six different disciplines.
Marin's 21st Century Dance Collaboration is now an annual project that brings choreographers,
composers, dancers and musicians together in a collaborative celebration of live performance, and
enhances Marin's reputation as a cultural destination.
