City in Motion Dance Theater has been part of the cultural fabric of Kansas City for over 25 years. Incorporated as a Missouri not-for-profit institution in 1985, its mission is to foster the development of high-quality, contemporary dance programming, and expand the dance audience in the Kansas City metropolitan region through its professional dance company, dance productions, and school of dance.
On Saturday, February 18, 2012, at 8:00 pm, City in Motion Dance Theater will present its ninth annual A Modern Night at the Folly. This performance is Kansas City's only adjudicated showcase, featuring 11 of the area's most talented choreographers. This eagerly anticipated one-of-a-kind event provides the audience with insight into the current direction of our region's modern dance artists.
Since 1985, City in Motion has provided opportunities for local choreographers to present their work through the Choreographers' Showcase, the New Dance Series, and Dance in the Park. A Modern Night at the Folly is a continuation of that tradition.
This year's performance will feature the choreography of Janet Charleston, Dale Fellin, Kimberly Holloway, Elaine Kimble-Peaks, Allison McKinzie, Jennifer Medina, Erin Muenks, Maggie Osgood Nicholls, Jennifer Owen, Stephen Plante and Nichole Raab.
This event is partially funded by the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency, The Neighborhood Tourism Development Fund, a grant from The Greater Kansas City Community Trust and Foundations, and by The Arts Council of Metropolitan Kansas City.
