Prometheus. Beginnings
Newman Studio

Free - no tickets required

Prometheus. Beginnings is a devised dance theatre work, conceived by Tzveta Kassabova with the cast, that takes inspiration and ideas from two plays written by the Berlin-based playwright Kevin Rittberger. The piece creates the environment in which some of the pressing questions of our time float in, come to focus, and interact with each other. The piece is an exploration of an entanglement of movement, spoken word, improvisational music score by Steve Hilmy and the evocative set of the production. Prometheus. Beginnings was originally created in the context of the conference “Diffractive World-Making – Theatre and Science Beyond the Capitalocene” and an initial version was premiered at the University of Indiana.

‘Through metamorphosis I alter my form

Which has given rise to nothing but greed

May my limbs be covered in soft bark

Hairs become leaves

Arms become branches

All that remains is radiance. ‘ —Kevin Rittberger

OU Repertory Dance Company presents PATHS

Paths is the fourth show the Repertory Dance Company, under the direction of Thayer Jonutz, has presented at the Engineering Center. This year’s iteration has evolved even further in that the show will include works by dance faculty members Elizabeth Kattner, Teresa Muller and Thayer Jonutz, whereas in the past Professor Jonutz has been the sole author of the choreography. Another expansion from past years is that the Repertory Dance Company will be accompanied by other dancers from our dance department in order to fulfill Professor Kattner’s vision for her larger work. Presenting a show in the atrium space of the Engineering Building realizes one of the missions of the Department of Dance — to collaboratively perform in non-traditional spaces. In that spirit, the Repertory Dance Company will be performing a collaborative work that was created with Shannon Sheldrick, an OU master of trumpet student. 

Pay as you wish at the door. All proceeds support our students' Germany Contemporary Dance study abroad course in May 2023.
