LADP PERFORMS: OPEN REHEARSAL | LIGHTSCAPE

2245.
2245 E Washington Blvd.
DTLA 90021

Wednesday April 9, 2025 | 12-1pm

Join us on in our studio at 2245 for an open rehearsal with LADP dancers as they rehearse for a site-specific activation of Doug Aitken’s critically acclaimed Lightscape at The Marciano Art Foundation.

Following the rehearsal, stay for a brief Q&A session with movement director Daphne Fernberger and company dancers Lorrin Brubaker, Jeremy Coachman, Courtney Conovan, Audrey Sides, and Hope Spears.

Then, on Saturday, April 12, at 2:00 PM, experience the Lightscape performance activation at The Marciano Art Foundation, presented by Doug Aitken Workshop and KCRW, featuring a collaboration with L.A. Dance Project.

L.A. Dance Project brings a kinetic, site-specific performance to Lightscape, featuring dancers Lorrin Brubaker, Jeremy Coachman, Courtney Conovan, Daphne Fernberger, Audrey Sides, and Hope Spears, with movement direction by Daphne Fernberger. Moving through Lightscape’s dynamic visual and sonic environment, the dancers respond in real time to shifting light and immersive sound, creating a performance that is as unpredictable and electrifying as the space itself. This event is free with your RSVP on the Marciano Art Foundation website, starting April 1.

As a teenage aspiring composer with a modernist ear, Esa-Pekka Salonen idolized composer and conductor Pierre Boulez and has become one of the biggest champions of his music. Salonen writes, “It can be complex without ever losing its clarity, it can be aggressive or delicate, hypnotic or kaleidoscopically flickering, ritualistic or virtuosic. But most importantly, it is often hauntingly beautiful.” Salonen contrasts Boulez’ serialist voice with fellow French composer Debussy’s impressionism—a pairing critic Mark Pullinger compared to “glaring sunburst [and] smudgy haze” or “Monet and Jackson Pollock.” Boulez’ solo piano Notations (each only 12 bars) flow into a version for orchestra that explodes the original musical idea with orchestral colors.

For this event at Walt Disney Concert Hall, Salonen, teaming up with pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard, leads one of Bartók’s most lucid and lyrical creations and Debussy’s conversation between wind and wave. In the finale, L.A. Dance Project and Benjamin Millepied combine the classicism of ballet with contemporary dance to celebrate a ritual with the orchestra based on three seminal scores of musical modernity. They take the stage for Boulez’s Rituel—“the most sensuously appealing score of Boulez’s career” (The New Yorker)—in a new dance choreographed by Millepied.

It premiered in 2019 with the original cast of Marta Miller, Ariel Freedman, Jesse Kovarsky, Asaf Avidan, Keir GoGwilt, Coleman Itzkoff, YáYa, Evan Copeland, and Or Schraiber. Caldera premiered at CORPUS of the Royal Danish Ballet in 2019 with the original cast of Hazuki Kojima, Alma Toaspern, Alexander Stæger, YáYa, and Louella May Hogan.

As with the beauty of art and creation, their souls and memories have been imprinted in The Missing Mountain and we would like to say thank you.

Special thanks- Benjamin Millepied, Lucinda Lent, Pierre Rougier, Marta Miller, Dea Lou Schraiber

Known for their “uniquely expressive language of movements, which range from the bright and angular to the jaunty and syncopated, natural and stylized, intensely emotional, muscular, sensual, witty, graceful, moody, seemingly spontaneous, and always unexpected.”
