Gerald Casel Dance: Spinters in Our Ankles at ODC…
Gerald Casel’s Splinters in Our Ankles is a contemporary movement essay that responds to the colonial origins and collective cultural amnesia imbued in the Philippine folk dance, Tinikling. Choreographed and directed by Gerald Casel, this evening-length premiere is created in collaboration with dancers Arletta Anderson, Kristen Bell, Christina Briggs-Winslow, Rebecca Chaleff, Janet Collard, Peiling Kao, Kevin Lopez, and Parker Murphy, with original music composed and performed by Tim Russell and lighting and media design by Jack Beuttler.
Let us read, and let us dance;
these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.
Voltaire
