and memory of Jennifer Lauren Rumbough. Audiences of all ages are

1501 Patton Avenue.About the works on the program:
Originally a solo self-choreographed and performed by Lindsey Kelley
Brewer, “that happened, now onward,” represents one woman’s
attempt to leave yesterday’s debris in the haunting shadows and move
towards a lighter, clearer tomorrow. The solo has been restaged into
a female trio performed by LKD dancers Ashleigh Gurtler, Megan Jones
Medford, and Alexis Miller, set to sound by Asheville Musician, Marley
Carroll. This dance was performed as part of the 2016-2017 North
Carolina Dance Festival.
“Crème de la Crème Femme Mayhem”, debuted at the 2016 Asheville
Fringe Festival. It is a super slinky, ferocious duet choreographed
by New York City’s Steeledance Director, Oliver Steele. Containing
many of Steele’s signature choreographic qualities, the duet
portrays two women slinking their way through space while exposing
various female stereotypes.
The title of the piece really says it all: “SLDL” aka “Silly
Little Dancing Ladies.” It's quirky, light hearted, and definitely
not to be taken so seriously. Created in collaboration with Lindsey
Kelley Brewer and dancers, “SLDL” will make its debut at this
performance.
Performed to Chad Lawson’s modern interpretation of Chopin’s
“Nocturne in F Minor,” this female quintet is highly musical and
highlights each LKD dancer individually. This will be the first time
“SHE.” is performed by a professional dance company. The piece was
originally staged for students of the Ballet Conservatory of Asheville
in March 2016 and restaged for students of the Northwest Florida
Ballet in June 2016.
Inspired by a former duet co-created by Lindsey Kelley Brewer and
dancing comrade, Mindy Upin Jackson, “Seester, Seester” is a
current take on partnership and female bonding. Highly synchronized
and extremely technical, Ashleigh Gurtler and Megan Jones Medford,
head-bobble and paddle their way through this funky fresh duet.
