2010–2011 GEORGIAN COURT UNIVERSITY

Guest Company-in-ResidenceGeorgian Court University hosts Group Motion Multimedia Dance Company, one of Philadelphia’s pioneer dance organizations, which will present a site-specifi c performance on the GCU campus. Group Motion’s Park Spaces, which has been adapted for the GCU campus, is based on their acclaimed City Dances/Parkway performance that took place along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia. City Dances/Parkway, funded and presented by PNC Bank Arts Alive in the spring of 2010, inspired the new Park Spaces, which incorporates Georgian Court’s historic Casino, Italian Gardens, Sunken Garden, and Formal Garden. Eight dancers, with iPods and speakers attached to their bodies, will lead the audience through the gardens and across campus.

Park Dances was created by Silvana Cardell, John Luna, and Manfred Fischbeck, and original music for the piece was written by Andrea Clearfi eld, Tim Motzer, and Phil Kline.

Diagnosis of a Faun GCU welcomes Tamar Rogoff: Performance Projects’ Diagnosis of a Faun. This extraordinary presentation is commissioned by VSA Arts, an international nonprofi t organization that celebrates the power of the arts in the lives

of individuals with disabilities. Diagnosis of a Faun was performed during the June 2010 International VSA Arts Festival at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and is being presented this year at Middlebury College in Vermont and at Georgian Court University. In Diagnosis of a Faun, Tamar Rogoff’s faun steps out of his mythical world to interface with the world of medicine. As the faun moves through the seemingly disparate spheres of the operating room and the forest in the company of dancers, doctors, humans and nymphs, the curse of separation between medicine and art is gently lifted.
