Christoper K. Morgan & Artists
8pm, Old Theatre
The innovative contemporary dance company, Chistopher K. Morgan & Artists (CKM&A), performs a program entitled, Places I’ve Been, an evening of mixed repertoire by Christopher K. Morgan & Artists. Places I've Been features the company's recent premiere, Place Names, which explores how names, language and labels can shape one's identity; Selling Out, said to be “simultaneously amusing and chilling” by The Washington Post; audience favorite C'est le ton qui fait la chanson; and For Becky, Morgan’s poetic and poignant solo tribute to UMBC graduate Rebecca Jung (1965-2011).
“Morgan displays a keen intellectual curiosity… Clearly the dancers trust one another and the material.”
Susan K. Galbraith, The Washington Post
