Koresh Dance Company is Philadelphia’s third largest dance company and will be performing at the Suzanne Roberts Theatre from April 30th to May 3rd. Programming for Koresh Dance Company’s 2009 Spring Season includes a new work by Roni Koresh, and Paul Selwyn Norton, a rising figure on the Dutch dance scene.   
Two works:

ev•o•lu•tion by Roni Koresh:  Language and art have remained essential to human nature throughout the ages. The need for human expression is as universal as the need for replenishing ourselves through procreation.  Expression is fundamental to the reasons for our existence and to understand that expression in its purest form is to understand ourselves. Roni explores this subject and more through his intricate choreography set to music by Franz Peter Shubert, Pete Nemlok, Fariborz Lachini, Greg Smith, John Vosbikian – and more. 

Pieces of 9 by Paul Selwyn Norton:  “Pieces of 9″ is representational on my recent focus on “music for dance”. I believe that it is important that composers have just as equal a standing on stage as the choreographer. Their music should not only serve the choreographer’s vision’ but should be also resonate with the same respect and vitality as the dance. These pieces are my thanks to the great work of John Cage, Jose Luis Greco and Elmer Schönberger.
