FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New “Black Box” Dance Theater Premieres in Santa Ynez
The Daughter of Zion Dance Company since it’s inception in 2002 has been based in the Valley and now has a studio/performance space called “Studio DoZ” in Santa Ynez. In collaboration with DramaDogs, a Santa Barbara-based theater company, DoZ will introduce a new performance inside the Santa Ynez Valley’s first and only black box theater entitled VISAGE II. All previous performances until now have been in Santa Barbara. Later in the month of May, as a means of cultural exchange, the company will be going for a week of teaching workshops and performance in Naoussa, Paros, Greece. In June the company will be part of the 35th International Choreographers Showcase in Guatamala City, Guatamala.
Their four-show engagement of “VISAGE II” is multi-disciplinary dance theater performance, incorporating low-flying aerial work, innovative theater and a unique steel set designed by Robert Houghtaling of Los Olivos.
The company will reprise “HALLELUJAH,” back by popular demand from Visage 1 which debuted in 2006 at Center Stage Theater in Santa Barbara.
“We are excited to provide theater-goers with a new venue and innovative performance,” said Rina van de Kamp, choreographer and dancer. “The Valley is hungry for something different in their own “backyard” and not needing to go Los Angeles for it. This is an opportunity to see performers push into new dimensions, right here in the Valley.”
The black box theater, Studio DoZ, is located at 3630-G Sagunto Street, Santa Ynez. Call (805) 698-9188 to reserve a seat. Space is limited. Tickets are $25. Four performances will be held. Showtimes are Friday and Saturday, May 4 & 5 at 8 pm, and Saturday and Sunday, May 5 & 6 at 2 pm.
