Agnieszka Laska Dancers
|
The Agnieszka Laska Dancers have come together gradually over the last four years, originating with Laska's initial choreography of three movements from Dreams of a Dancer to the music of Portland-based composer Tomas Svoboda. In April of 2003, for composer Jack Gabel's Dog Star CD release event, the ensemble marked a solid presence on the artistic stage in Portland as the most musical dance company in town. The company's performances with live music include the (2003) Dreams of a Dancer production with Trio Spektrum, the (2004) Songs of Eva with fEARnoMUSIC, PSU Percussion Ensemble, chamber choir and guest soloist Diane Syrcle; Tessa Brinckman's (2005) Glass Sky CD release event at Portland's First Presbyterian Church, (2005) Peace is Every Step with Phil Hansen - cello, Janet Jones - piano, Erin Furbee - violin and (2006) Mozart Now and Then with Oregon Symphony String Quartet: Chien Tan - violin, treble violin, Amy Schwartz-Moretti - violin, Joel Belgique - viola, Nancy Ives - cello and guest cellist: Justin Kagan . Agnieszka Laska is now developing new talent through a Repertory Group and performing regularly throughout the region at diverse venues. After the company's successful April-2005 festival tour to Baja California, Mexico, a fall '07 festival tour is now being planned. | ![]()
