Rosie Herrera brings her Miami-based company to present "Various Stages of Drowning: A Cabaret" (2009). At once campy and poignant, Drowning recreates dream states using dance, theater, cabaret, and film. "World Dance Reviews" calls Herrera “a magician that twists our emotions” and "The Classical Voice of North Carolina" says “this work is strange and adventurous, bright and cheeky… as much dance as it is theater and is as highly theatrical as it is booty shaking kinetic.” Rosie Herrera completes this program with the ADF commissioned world premiere of "Carne Viva," a quartet exploring what it means to believe in magic and how that bleeds into our constructions of spirituality and our understanding of romance.
