Beautiful Little Weirdos
An Evening of Bold, Evocative Movement by Amber Sloan
Step into a world of curiosity and contradiction with Beautiful Little Weirdos, an evening of bold, evocative movement by Amber Sloan that celebrates the strange, the surreal, and the deeply personal. The program features two works: After the Applause and Echoes of Absurdity.
After the Applause, a solo by Amber Sloan embraces humor, vulnerability, and the unpredictability of an ever-shifting reality. Echoes of Absurdity, a quartet performed by Shawn Brush, Ching-I Chang, Chelsea Enjer Hecht, and Jordan Morley, with costumes by Meagan Woods, navigates the tension between order and disruption, humor and unease. Through intricate choreography and raw physicality, these works examine the absurdity of existence, the beauty in the unconventional, and the voices that refuse to conform.
Praise for Beautiful Little Weirdos:
"Amber Sloan, a choreographer of fertile whimsy and wit, draws us into the universes of her perfectly peculiar characters, creating awe and delight. Being in the audience is a treat when a choreographer and her collaborators are so in sync. Shawn Brush, Chelsea Enjer Hecht, Ching-I Chang, and Jordan Morley are the perfect match to Sloan’s inquisitive explorations. These fully-committed, full-hearted dancers dive into every moment with abandon, and like Sloan in her opening solo, their dancing is always fresh and surprising." - Christine Jowers, The Dance Enthusiast
