JUST DANCE: As THE CALGARY HERALD continues, "Departing from SUN.ERGOS'usual format, this production separates the dance and theatre elements, presenting(as the title suggests) just dance. But one cannot describe what Dana Luebke doesin one and a half hours of weaving magic as 'just' anything; that might imply there'ssomething missing [--and] there isn't. Without fantastic sets or sleight-of-hand, liveorchestra or lovely ballerinas, right up close, the slender dancer[excites andprofoundly] moves us." Using themes from nature, disabilities, war, lullabies, folk-dances, newspaper articles, Mr. Luebke creates the widest possible spectrum ofdance forms and styles. The performance is a tour-de-force.

Moving the Human Spirit!"Not only does this new program make sense, it is very sensual and emotive…There are outstandingpieces in this magical show…Luebke's physical control creates a mood that permeates himcompletely…beautiful…Catch this show…you'll become a dance fan."THE CALGARY SUN

“Working Together” - Moving the Human Spirit!

TITLE OF SHOW(S): JUST DANCE LENGTH OF SHOW(S): 50-minutes, plus 10-minute Question PeriodTECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS: [see enclosed tech sheet(s)]

THEME [describe in one sentence]: A celebration of contemporary dance of solo performances: the theme ishuman emotions.

CONTENT [brief description of pieces in show]: This show is a genuine, versatile exploration through ninedances of the range of human emotional experience, taking its inspiration from folk-traditions, newspaper arti-cles, nature, paintings, scripts and arias, through the expressive range, depth and energy of human movement.The dancer is on stage throughout the entire performance, wiping his face with a towel, sipping water, powder-ing his feet between pieces while he gives a brief explanation of how the next dance came to be – it is “just dance”.

GOAL [what is the purpose of this show]: To make accessible, understandable and meaningful the art-formsof dance which often audiences say they do not understand or that they fashionably say they do not like; to givethe audience an experience with dance they will never forget.

POINT OF VIEW OF ARTISTS [brief description]: That dance is a comprehensible, compassionate and acces-sible art-form that deeply moves and enriches our lives as much today as it ever has.

CLASSIFICATION [i.e.: ADULT, FESTIVAL, FAMILY, YOUNG AUDIENCE]: Festival, Adult and Teen-age audi-ences. The show has played successfully overseas because of the emotionality of the pieces, the clarity of thepresentation of the movementl vocbulary, the universality of the dance itself and the understanding of intona-tion, music and spirit in the dance. It has played as well as in community series, festivals and Fringes.

PRESENTATION [skills used to present show]: JUST DANCE is done on a completely bare stage with blacksurrounds, one white chair, a grey towel and a sports, drinking bottle for water. The costume is simple, a whiteleotard, shaded at the legs and arms from black to grey to white with black leg-warmers. The mood of eachdance is enhanced by coloured, patterned light. The body is left absolutely clear to express the forms, ideas andemotions.

TARGET AUDIENCE [i.e.: Seniors, multi-cultural groups, etc.]: Festival, Adult and Teen-age audiences. But,we want to target people who don’t like dance – why preach only to the converted? They will really enjoy it any-way – but new-comers, teen-agers who struggle with or think that modern and classic dance is for sissies or foregg-heads – this show will change their thinking and dispel many misconceptions and prejudices.

CAST [see Bios]: [Mr.] Dana Luebke (dancer-actor)

LANGUAGE(S) IN WHICH SHOW IS PERFORMED: English; one dance is done to the Spanish text from GarciaLorca’s BODAS DES SANGRES [BLOOD WEDDING].
