Trifecta Dance Collective presents the third annual Trifecta Dance Festival January 22-26, 2020, featuring 65 separate works from artists throughout the Midwest, plus the newly added Dance Film Festival. DancerMusic spoke to TDC Co-founders Krissie Odegard-Geye and Carrie Patterson. Here's what they told us about this spectacular 5-day festival:
They say hindsight is 20/20, but sometimes looking into the past by yourself is not always enough to take full advantage of the lessons to be learned. Now and then, it is wise to have those you trust take that retrospective journey with you, if only to gain some clarity for the future. This is how the artists at Trifecta Dance Collective are approaching their upcoming performance of Moving Forward, Looking Back, with guest company Project606. The program features previous works from both companies, as well the premiere of a collection of new works by guest choreographers and company members of TDC. What we end up with is an evening of dance that takes audiences on a journey of Trifecta Dance Collective's three part mission - to Engage, Empower, and Expand - and how these talented artists have embraced their commitment to its realization, as well as their vision of things to come. DancerMusic's Dance Editor Kristi Licera caught up with Associate Artistic Director and TDC Dancer Joanna Paul to learn more about Moving Forward, Looking Back. Here's what she told us:
