For all who helped make this show come to fruition, your countless hours are recognized with the greatest amount of gratitude.

CDT show coming soon!

Re*Vision
Presented by Tim Bostock Productions LLC

CONVERGENCE DANCE THEATRE RE-EMERGES THIS FALL
Contemporary dance show Re•Vision opens November 21


As the title implies, Re•Vision explores ideas of perspective, specifically in life and love. Emotive landscapes are created through inspired, original choreography of dynamic movement. Enhanced by costume and props and over a backdrop of projected images and sound, the dances of Re•Vision speak of personal and cultural cause and effect.

CDT is a contemporary dance company of 12 dancers and choreographers, originally founded in Honolulu in 2003. Artistic Director Jennifer Butler Shannon, who is a founding member, received her MFA in dance from UH Manoa. Choreographers include Ms. Shannon, Lindsay Hermann, Meghen McKinley, and Sumoha Jani. Re•Vision features the return of veteran company members, Malia Yamamoto and Raina Racki.
To receive more information about Convergence Dance Theatre and Re•Vision, schedule an interview or attend the Wednesday, November 19th pre-viewing for press, please contact Maya Portner, Promotions Assistant at Tim Bostock Productions: 741-5299 maya@artsatmarks.com or Jennifer Shannon at 542-9442 dncspace@yahoo.com.
