The SJCC Dance Program presented: \u201cStories that MOVE,\u201d for a run of shows. Evergreen Valley College\u2019s VPA Theater hosted opening night of SJCC\u2019s spring dance concert on May 1 and the second night, May 2 and concluded on May 3 with back to back shows at SJCC in the Dance Studio, Room A206.<\/p>\n

A fire in the SJCC theater on April 23 has left the theater inoperable until further notice. Dean of humanities, Betancourt could not be reached for comment on the expected timeline (KJ\u2019s Caf\u00e9 and the classrooms in the Theater building are back in use.)<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the show successfully went on.<\/p>\n

Opening night at EVC\u2019s VPA Theater saw a great turn out and the theater had the seating capacity for plenty more. Total run time is 1 hour with a 15 minute intermission.<\/p>\n

Mariah Shipp, SJCC dance major, 22, is taking this semester away from dance but showed up to support the Spring concerts\u2019 dancers and said, \u201cIt was an amazing show! Everybody\u2019s stage presence was great.\u201d<\/p>\n

The audiences\u2019 cheers resounded after each performance on opening night and throughout the entire curtain call every dancer took.<\/p>\n

The respect the dancers express to one another could be felt in every seat and further intensified the audience\u2019s appreciation for every on-point movement these dancers make possible.<\/p>\n

The performances are true to their word. They tell stories that inexplicably move you.<\/p>\n

Even if you sat still frozen in amazement at the synchronization and congruency between the movements in the rise and fall of the crescendos of the performance, \u201cPathRest,\u201d danced by guest artists Danielle Sullivant and Kevin Gaytan to the music of, \u201cOpen Road\u201d by David Crowell and choreographed by Maria Basile, SJCC faculty choreographer, artistic director and founding member of sjDANCEco, you found yourself moved by feelings of \u201ctribulation and joy,\u201d as described in the show\u2019s program guide.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe combination of sharp and flowy floor movements were my favorite parts,\u201d Shipp said after the show, \u201call the contemporary pieces were story tellers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The program order broken up by the intermission about 25 minutes into the show resumes with the most engaging performance of the show, \u201cThis is Me, This is Us,\u201d choreographed by SJCC dance faculty and the program\u2019s producer, Amber McCall.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is Me, This is Us,\u201d dancers: Rosally Cabu Al, Angelique Canas, Helen Huang, Madison Keys, Madisyn Kite, Cirene Lara, Peggy Sung, Ana Rhea Suvak evoke a keen sense of the unification in their diversity through their performance to the track, \u201cReminiscence,\u201d by Dante Bucci.<\/p>\n

Music pauses through the song and the dancers look front at the audience. Each one of the eight performers loudly affirms an adjective or phrase which they identify with, ranging from: nationality, to occupation, to something they\u2019d like to see for the world, McCall specifically encouraged the dancers to ponder this from the initial creation of the piece beginning the week of February 11.<\/p>\n

Angelique Canas, SJCC student, chose the words: reserved, curious, indigenous and sustainability, citing a major concern for global warming.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s sad\u2026 when Kylie has a new lip kit or Donald said something stupid again\u2026 we\u2019re too wrapped up in nonsense we can\u2019t even realize we\u2019re not going to have a tomorrow if this planet doesn\u2019t get the helps it deserves,\u201d Canas said.<\/p>\n

It is through the dancers\u2019 performances of the show that our common stories of adversity and the universal need for kindness, support and compassion in the world blend through elegance and creativity to tell well-rehearsed stories that go well beyond impressive movement.<\/p>\n
