Grupo Corpo
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
White Bird closes their 27th season with two dances from Grupo Corpo. 21, a classic work of choreographer Rodrigo Pederneiras backed by an infectious and complex score, marks a turning point for Pederneiras’ in creating a uniquely Brazilian movement language for the dance company. That language is in full display in Gira, which evokes the rites of “Umbanda,” one of the most widely practiced Brazilian religions, with its sinuous undulations and pounding footwork.
