Moving Current Presents NewGrounds 2011



Moving Current will celebrate Florida s contemporary dance artists with another 

sensational concert of professional and up and coming choreographers on 

NewGrounds 2011. This year s artists include choreographers such as Tampa native 

Casey Hicks and Lakeland choreographer Shelley Bourgeois (also a member of 

Moving Current). Joining them are Florida State University graduates Jessica Mayhew 

and Trent D. Williams Jr., FSU dance major Joshua Reaver and Jacksonville 

choreographers Cari Coble, Tiffany Sullivan Fish and Rebecca Levy. "This year, the 

quality of dance work is outstanding." stated Moving Current Director, Erin Cardinal. 

"The applicants were reviewed by a panel of dance professionals who were not given 

the names of the choreographers, the works were chosen based on the title, a brief 

statement about the work and what was presented on the DVDs. The names of the 

artists were revealed later in the process."



NewGrounds began in 2001 by Moving Current directors when they decided to fill the 

need for choreographers to present their work, help connect Florida choreographers 

and ultimately support and nurture modern dance in the State of Florida. 10 years 

later, Moving Current still has an important need to fill for the many talented and 

diverse choreographers living, studying and working in Florida. The dances brought to 

this year s NewGrounds stage are thoughtful, exciting work with a wide range of 

contemporary dance styles. There will be something for everyone to love. A new 

experience, a journey to somewhere new... If you ve seen NewGrounds in the past, 

you definitely won t want to miss the 2011 edition. It s the perfect way to celebrate 

new voices in the art of dance... together in Tampa!



And that s not all...



Along with the weekend performances, NewGrounds 2011 will offer a Master Class 

Series May 18-22 taught by Miami s Brazz Dance Theater Artistic Director Augusto 

Soledade and distinguished professor and former dancer with the Jose Limon Dance 

company, Andre Megerdichian. Al classes are held at the USF dance studios, Holly Dr. 

Tampa



Join us for Show & Tell, an opportunity for artists to share their dance works with the 

community. The choreographers are invited to participate in a quick open response 

directly following the performance of their work with distinguished contemporary 

choreographers leading the audience in discussion. You dance, we watch. We dance, 

you watch, and we ll all talk about what we experienced together! 4:00 pm on 

Thursday, May 19 at Theater 2. FREE
