Choreography & set: Beth Corning
Performed with guest "clown" Jeff Gordon


With wit, poignancy, breathtaking imagery, and magical dancing, Corning explores the nature of memory's impact, interpretation, and retention. Incorporating the magical genius of nationally renown performer Jeff Gordon, a.k.a. "Le Clown Gordon", dancers wielding 60" black umbrellas, a small doll's carriage - Corning's new work provokes both the senses and synapses.

"the richest of memories are the ones that we can call
up in an instant, and there are scores of them in (this work)...
whimsical elements of surprise...the kind of
performance that you cannot and will not forget!"
