Doug Hamby Dance, a professional modern dance company in residence at UMBC, presents its annual concerts at Dance Place in Washington, D.C. on July 19th and 20th. Choreographer Doug Hamby is known for his provocative collaborations with visual artists, designers and composers. The program will feature the premiere of Edgewater Park, a sensuous duet for two men with live video and recorded images of carnivals, edited by filmmaker Nick Prevas and with a sound score by artist Timothy Nohe; the premiere of Vial, in which a women is engulfed in memory and sound, with a video and sound score by Timothy Nohe; the Washington premiere of Short'nin Bread Variations, in which a hungry 3-year-old boy makes old mischief in the kitchen with the help of a fairy and dancing bakers; and Opus 98, a dance of airborne feats of passion inspired by World Cup Soccer, with live percussion by Tom Goldstein. The company includes dancers Julie Peoples-Clark, Lorna Cox, Allyson Gebken, Emily Gibbs, Doug Hamby, Aaron Jackson, Ali Linthicum, Jessica McElvaney, Chip Scuderi and Margaret Terry. The Washington Post has said, "Hamby is an ambitious artist willing to take risks."
