Modern dance master choreographer Doug Varone’s new work, “in the shelter of the fold,” is described as exploring the questioning inherent in faith.
That’s a pretty deep philosophical idea. But Varone said he has faith the work will find a receptive audience when his company performs it this weekend at the University of Utah.
“The work is meant to allow every person to see some aspect of themselves in these dances and understand the world from their perspective,” said Varone, who is renowned for creating movement brimming with meaning.
Doug Varone and Dancers, celebrating its 31st anniversary, will be joined by university student dancers for the work, with Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company also on the bill Friday and Saturday.
