Brooklyn-based with Jennifer Weber at the helm, the Decadantheatre has been a staple of dance festivals since its inception in 2004. Made up of an all-female group of dancers from the US, France, Germany, Norway, Nigeria and Japan, the ensemble has toured across the United States, the UK and France. It has performed at the long-running Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, in The Berkshires; at B Supreme Festival of Women in Hip Hop, in London’s Southbank Center and at LEAP, in Liverpool.

Decadancetheatre will be featured as part of a special collaboration with Miami-based composer Sam Hyken and the Nu Deco Ensemble, a genre-bending chamber orchestra, in a unique classical music / hip hop dance performance.

 

Hyken has re-imagined Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons in a piece titled The Vivaldi Project ‘4’ to be interpreted by Decadancetheatre and Nu Deco Ensemble; together they will also perform Igor Stravinsky’s The Firebird Suite. Nu Deco will play J. S. Bach’s Toccata & Fugue and Hyken’s Nu Deco Suite No. 1 – The B Sides.

This exciting fusion will be on stage Friday, April 28 at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts’ Knight Concert Hall to cap the 2016-2017 Masterworks Season – Meidar and Alfi Family Foundation Classical Music Series.
