Rocky Mountain Choreography Festival winner Rodolfo Rafael presents “Emerge” an evening of dance, through the sponsorship of Imagine Ballet Theater. Rodolfo (Rod) won the festival championship in February 2015 and was therefore, awarded the opportunity to present an evening of his choreography with his company, Rafael Dance. “ ‘Emerge’ plays with the concept of organized chaos through off balance movements, abstraction of ideas, and the orchestration of bodies through space,” says Rafael. “It combines the talents of dancers from Ogden, Utah to Henderson, Nevada. It fully embraces diverse ideas, explores boundaries, and aims to present work that allow the audience to relate on their own terms.” Rafael Dance Company aims to, “Create pieces of work that can provide easy access for audiences who may not be familiar with the abstracted side of dance while simultaneously maintaining the sophistication, depth, and complexity of their work. The goal is to present work that is entertaining, while providing the needed space for individuals to insert their own imaginations and understanding of the world. With that in mind, they also aim to push the boundaries by bringing attention to issues that are relevant in today’s society.” This performance contains material that may be unsuitable for some audience members.
