Robert Sher-Machherndl, choreographer and artistic director of Lemon Sponge Cake Contemporary Ballet, presents a dynamic new work, ‘FLESH’
Highly sophisticated and transformative, ‘FLESH’ embodies the intensity, creative imagination, and profound emotional depth that are hallmarks of Sher-Machherndl’s choreographic voice.
A rigorous exploration of movement, body form, and highly specialized arm épaulement is at play. It juxtaposes movements, the smooth and velvety with awkward and pedestrian. ‘FLESH’ invites the audience on an intriguing journey, it redirects the mind while revealing the expressive possibilities of the human body.
Sher-Machherndl is a singular force. His distinctive movement language and deeply embodied choreographic style have evolved via an illustrious international career as performer, creator, and educator. He continues to perform nationally and internationally, to diverse audiences, without compromise. His commanding stage presence radiates wisdom and knowledge, embodied somatically, intellectually and energetically.
‘FLESH’ is performed by Jane Mumford, recognized as one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch,” and Robert Sher-Machherndl, named “ … highlight of the program.” The New York Times.
Following its Boulder premiere, Lemon Sponge Cake will take FLESH on an international tour, with a performance in Vienna, Austria.
