Metamorphosis Dance Company presents "Points of Passion"

Metamorphosis Dance Company – one of the country's most dynamic dance companies (and an offshoot from the Caribbean School of Dancing, which celebrated its 50th anniversary a few years ago) – presents its 2009 season Points of Passion at Queen's Hall from April 30 to May 2.

The show features pieces that have been specially created for the season, ranging in style from classical ballet, Trinidadian folk, contemporary Caribbean, and modern to hip-hop/street dance. Choreographers include Andre Largen, who danced with the Alvin Ailey Dance Company of New York; Bridgette Wilson who has recently returned from Toronto; and Nicole Wesley, an American contemporary dancer, choreographer and teacher with the University of Trinidad & Tobago (UTT) who presents new cutting edge choreography; and well-known local choreographers Sonja Dumas, Lisa Beharry, Joyce Kirton, Patricia Roe and Claudia Applewhaite.

Wesley's piece "Seeds" is a glimpse into the ever-changing relationships we have with our mothers. Dumas presents "Counting", a humourous and incisive commentary on crime. Lisa Beharry's choreography brings to the stage vibrant street and hip hop styles, while Joyce Kirton's folk dance theatre piece "Sacred Spaces" is accompanied by a live assemble of musicians and singers that include African drums, tabla, sitar and steelpan.

Tickets are $100, while students may purchase tickets for the April 30 performance at 50% off. For tickets and show information, contact Nancy Herrera, Artistic Director, at (868) 684-6823 or the Caribbean School of Dancing at (868) 625-3225.
