The Collective (Baltimore), RebollarDance (DC), and New Street Dance Group (Philadelphia) will present an afternoon of dance entitled Tri-Dance showing on November 9, 2014 at 3pm at the Baltimore Museum of Art’s Meyerhoff Auditorium. The performance will bring together three professional dance companies representing three states in the Mid-Atlantic region for a presentation of innovative, intriguing contemporary dance. Audiences are encouraged to “try dance” and experience three diverse perspectives as developed through the presenting dance companies. Tickets are $18/general admission and $13/students, seniors, and artists if purchased in advance. $20/general admission and $15/students, seniors, and artists if purchased at the door. Tickets are available in advance at www.collective-dance.com or at the door 1 hour prior to curtain (cash/check only at the door).

The Collective, Baltimore’s hub for professional dancers and choreographers, will present two works from their current repertoire and one premier. Erica Rebollar premieres Bound/Rebound, a commissioned work set on members of The Collective. Bound/Rebound highlights the athletic, kinetic energy of the dancers by weaving highly charged movement with the inner workings of a contemplative, solitary figure. Elizabeth Bergman’s If I Fall explores the dynamics of suspension, support, and trust that create networks and community as set on eleven dancers from The Collective. Choreographer Lauren Withhart’s work solar, originally commissioned for The Collective’s SHORTS, will take on a second life on the Baltimore Museum of Art stage with its inspiration drawing from commissioner Nate Parson’s work on the NASA mission Solar Probe Plus. www.collective-dance.com

New Street Dance Group will present an excerpt from their 2014 FringeArts Festival performance, Another Word For Missing, an evening of choreography inspired by meditations on the theme of missing. One of two featured dance performances in Campus Philly's "Guide to the Fringe Festival", Another Word For Missing uses movement, design, and original music by composer Alexandra T. Bryant to explore endangered runaways, the Bermuda Triangle, long lost love letters, Dark Matter, Autism Spectrum Disorders, and more. www.newstreetdancegroup.org

Inspired by Donna Haraway’s “Cyborg Manifesto”, RebollarDance presents Cyborg Suites as an examination of the movement boundaries between machine and human, automatic and sensory, internal and external. The work is an introduction to full-length Sacred Profane to be premiered at Dance Place, DC in Fall 2015. www.rebollardance.com

Tri-Dance also features a performance from The Community Project 2014 hosted by The Collective. Offered through Free Fall Baltimore, The Community Project is an open-call casting invitation for community members (ages 16 and up) who engage in a six week rehearsal process leading up to a performance. The participants worked with Alyson Jacques, a professional choreographer from The Collective, to create a dance that draws from the movement and social climate of the Roaring Twenties juxtaposed with our current liberal use of social media.
