“It is Artistic Directors Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson’s lifelong appreciation for the artistic and aesthetic appeal of the multicultural that forms the cornerstone of Complexions’ singular approach Contemporary Ballet to reinvent dance.” During the month of February, Complexions traveled across the country to perform in front of different audiences. Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson are the company's founding artistic directors. This review will focus on the performance at the South Miami Dade Cultural Art Center. This is a contemporary dance company made up of 14 professional dances; seven are men and the other half are women. A performance of Complexions consists of three acts. The acts in chronological order are: Moon Over Jupiter, choreographed by Dwight Rhoden; Recurs, choreographed by Jae Man Joo; and Innervisions, choreographed by Dwight Rhoden. When choreographing the dances, the choreographers had different prompts and ideas to present to the audience. The first act, Moon Over Jupiter, was the most difficult of the three to perform. This piece seemed to be about relationships, as the dancers were paired up on stage. The dancers' facial expressions gave the impression that they were experiencing intimate feelings. The female dancers mainly did jumps, while the male partners accompanied or assisted her in the air. Despite the interpretation of the dance, Dwight Rhoden, the choreographer, used dynamics effectively throughout the dance. For most of the piece, the entire company was on stage, so Rhoden used space efficiently to spread out the dancers on stage. Additionally, the dancers used a lot of space vertically. In other worlds...... middle of paper ......ical and close. This dance involved a lot of rotations and pelvic movements, which added to the flirtatious ambiance; all these movements were performed in synchronization with the tempo of the music. Additionally, Rhoden did an outstanding job conveying trust in relationships. Rhoden did this by having the dancers catch the moving ballerinas while they were in the air. The dancers did a lot of jumps and sashays, which also added to the good mood. In conclusion, the Complexions company has rehearsed well. Although some scenes were difficult to perform, Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson effectively used dynamics, lighting and music to set the tone of the performance. Tones ranged from serious and frenetic to cheerful and flirtatious. However, the show never stopped grabbing the audience's attention from start to finish..
