the people
it's a busy fall, with the premiere of another evening-length work. the people combines composer rob reddy's unique and stirring sound with dre.dance's propulsive and emotional choreography. the interpretive narrative work weaves text through choreography and live compositions to illuminate issues of social poignancy and opportune consideration.
saxophonist and composer rob reddy is "an impressive and open-minded tunesmith," raves allaboutjazz.com. "since the early 1990s, rob reddy has been forging a way uniquely his own as a jazz composer, saxophone player and bandleader in new york," says downtown express.
the people is being created in residence at tribeca performing arts center and will premiere there, october 9-11, 2008. click here for more info.
