Groundworks DanceTheater returns to the stage —Playhouse Square’s Outcalt Theatre this weekend and the Knight Stage at Akron Civic Theatre next weekend — with a world premiere multi-media work by choreographer Pearlann Porter.  The Visual Sound of Color*, danced to live music, featured dancers in her ““post modern Jazz improvography” style, illuminated by three-dimensional color lighting.

The work will be paired with another premiere: the staged version the dance film Transcendence by GroundWorks Executive Artistic Director David Shimotakahara’s dance film Transcendence (2022), blending both film and live performance. It’s inspired by Olivier Messaien’s “Quartet for the End of Time,” written by the French composer in 1941 when he was a prisoner of war in a German camp.
