DESCRIPTION OF DANCES http://www.sonneblauma.com/description-of-the-work 
SonneBlauma Danscz Theatre SonneBlauma Danscz Theatre will be presenting a selection of repertory and new choreographic works by Co-Artistic Directors Misa & Stephen Kelly. Stephen, a classically trained pianist, composer and choreographer has created a trio for three or more dancers Falling & Flying based on themes of isolation and solidarity. The work will be set to an original score by Kelly. His work has been described as “brilliant” and “incredibly imaginative” by the press while Misa’s has been described as “witty”, “gutsy & searching”, “gorgeously multi-layered”, “striking and surreal.” Misa is presenting four works:
A Bao A Qu, an emotionally rich solo set on Slovenian dancer Mojca Majcen which takes both the dancer and audience on a cathartic journey through the shadow lands of humanity’s consciousness abiding in the “crack between the worlds between dreamtime and waking.”
Grit – a spunky and raucous duet performed in retro style swimwear and bathing caps that wrangles with all of the things we love and hate about sibling rivalry, suppressed temper tantrums, and explosive relationships between individuals thrust together by no choice of their own.  Under No Certain Circumstances - a playful, abstract, multilayered duet that draws inspiration from a gamut of random sources. Sources ranging from YouTube tango demonstrations, The Three Stooges slapstick routines & guerrilla style performance explorations that took place in a Westin Photographic exhibit at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art.

Block & Block The mother/daughter dance company Block & Block will perform their newest duet Chaperone. A funny and touching duet created by Melissa Block (mom) and Sarah Block (11 year old daughter) about the power struggles between mothers and daughters.
Christine Suarez Christine Suarez choreographs and performs in The Mothers I know and maybe you know too, a solo and self-portrait of her own transition into motherhood. Her words punctuate moments that range from mundane observations to profound surrenders. Her movement both devours space and rigorously spirals in on itself. With The Mothers I know and maybe you know too Suarez reveals a personal narrative that sheds light on the absurd and poetic life of a mother. photo by Robert SalasHart Pulse Dance Company Hart Pulse Dance Company will be presenting "Possibility
Lost" poetically defined by choreographer Amanda Hart as “meeting in blindness, catching fire with
touch. Finished before they ever became. Knowing what could have been but will
not be." photo by Sue Bell.
