Seamless Dance Theatre presents
Tomorrow's Too Late
Saturday, November 22 at 8 p.m.
Gem Theater,
18th & Vine Jazz District
Kansas City, MO
Founded by UMKC Conservatory alum, Erin Novak, Seamless Dance Theatre is a not-for-profit dance company that offers free performances to area school children, and performs in concert several times each year. Influenced by Horton, Graham, Lewinsky styles of modern dance, Novak feels that dance is a way for the artist to communicate to the audience without words.
This concert, their third as a professional company, presents Tomorrow's Too Late, which takes as its theme that it is important to live "in the moment", i.e., act now, live for today... for tomorrow may be too late. The concert will feature Erin Novak capably executing her multiple roles as artistic director, choreographer, and lead dancer, as well as featuring out-of-town talent, such as Julius Rubio, from Los Angeles, CA, who will be performing with the group.
This up and coming dance group, performing exciting and contemporary choreography, is definitely worth watching.
Tickets are available at the door or at www.SeamlessDance.com
