Modern American Dance Academy’s new show “Resilience” is not what you might picture when you consider a dance performance. The MADCO show features four pieces, each touching on a type of trauma — everything from losing a child to the loss of one’s sanity — with a focus on battling adversity through movement. Possibly the most unique aspect of the show is that the dancing won’t end after the official performances are through. After the last ticketed show, MADCO’s education director, Darrell Hyche II, will spend the next year bringing related programming to under-served schools in the area, with the hope of giving the kids the tools they need to deal with anger, familial conflict, trauma and more. In this episode, we hear from Hyche as well as MADCO’s interim director, Belicia Beck.
Saturday (Nov. 9) will mark 30 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall that divided Germany from 1961 to 1989. In this episode, we discuss a local dance production being staged this week by Modern American Dance Company, or MADCO, that explores the personal stories behind the Cold War politics of the time. The production, “WallSTORIES,” is choreographed by native Berliner Nejla Yatkin and is a collaboration between MADCO and the University of Missouri-St. Louis' German Culture Center.
On this episode of DLEW, I talk with Stacy West and Nicole Whitesell of Modern American Dance Company. It's common practice for dance companies to have some form of education outreach. But MADCO takes dance education and education THROUGH dance to a whole new level. Check out the episode to hear some of the amazing teaching practices that MADCO uses to ensure that their work is making an impact. Dance Like Everyone’s Watching with Andrea Muhlbauer is the show that brings you inspiration and insight into the world of dance and choreography. Andrea and her amazing guests are saying the things that no one else will. D.L.E.W. will tackle the MAJOR problems facing dance and the arts: the diminishing of audiences, the rise of new technologies, and the loss of artistic purpose. Slightly controversial opinions and real talk are guaranteed.
Guest Stacy West, Artistic & Executive Director of MADCO, talks about the group's origins and their mission to foster working artists and performers right here at home.
