Sapphire Moon at Richland Library Sandhills

Presented by Sapphire Moon Dance Company at Richland Library Sandhills

Sapphire Moon Dance Company will present a performance of short contemporary choreographic works at Richland Library – Sandhills Branch on December 2 at 4:00pm. The event is free and open to the public.
The works range from those that are more introspective while others are athletic with intense movement. Carried with me, is a humorous work that uses text and explores how letters from our past can stay with us in different aspects of our lives. In The Migration, the dancers journey to find those that they share a connection to and feel support from and the trio, Head Trip, questions the meanings of dreams. Kristin Hapke will also perform her solo, Kept.
Also being presented on the program is The days are long but the years are short, a solo dance work performed by Angela Gallo that explores time and cycles that we get stuck in. This performance will include the use of the interactive video/audio software ‘Isadora’. This cutting-edge software was created by Troika Ranch, a dance company based in NYC. This software allows the video projections in the piece to be manipulated in real time by the dancers and/or elements in the music.
The performance will feature company director, Angela M Gallo and a cast of talented local artists, including Kristin Hapke, Assistant Professor of Dance at Coker College, Erin Bailey, Adjunct Instructor of Dance at Coker College and Columbia College and Tierra Foxworth, dance artist and educator in Columbia, SC.
The company’s mission is to present dance theatre works that inspire thought and use dance to take the audience out of their daily routines. The company also believes in bringing contemporary dance to a wide range of audiences, especially those communities in which exposure to dance is limited. The company does this in many ways, not limited to: residencies at schools, workshops, master classes and community outreach programs.
