“Ceres is an emerging leader in the region and a dance maker of considerable gifts.  Her dual passions for creative community and smartly conceived, beautifully executed dance combine in investigations of social issues and matters of the heart, rendered with insight and wit in brave movement of the highest caliber.”     –Rob Bailis, ODC Theater Director

 
 

 

Inspired by the little things we are all so afraid to reveal, Normal People Have Secrets is seamless series of narrative interludes revolving around both white and not-so-white lies. Beginning with the drowning murder of a loved-one, this new work intends to pierce the sticky-sweet center of all of our secrets. The exploration of non-verbal characterization, ensemble dancing, and the physicality of buried memories are at the for-front of movement development. With the haunting “Akhmatova Songs”, by John Tavener, sung by Patricia Rosario,  six dancers tell stories of many little lingering personal lies.
