Eli Lilly and Company presents

Fathers and Sons

IRT Mainstage

Dance Kaleidoscope (DK) presents "Fathers & Sons," sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company, May 15-18, 2008, at the Indiana Repertory Theatre.

The program will feature the World Premiere of "I Never Danced for My Father," choreographed by DK Artistic Director David Hochoy. This autobiographical work is based on Hochoy's own relationship with his father and interviews with the fathers of each of DK's male dancers. Video narrations from these interviews will frame the piece and it is set to music by IUPUI professor and composer Scott Deal.

In addition, guest artists Nicholas A. Owens and Gregory Manning II, Kenyetta Dance Company, present their duet "Children of Lights" set to the music of Patrick O'Hearn. The work expresses the concept that as "God extends his hand to help us, we must remember to help one another," says Owens.

Kenoth Shane Patton will be featured in the reprise of "Seasons," Hochoy's classic two-act work which uses the cycles of Nature as an allegory for a Man's life. "Seasons" features a wide range of music from Debussy, Piazzola and Arvo Part to The Beatles.
