SYREN presents the last of the leaves (March 2009) as well as excerpts of Dolce, a new work set to premiere in April 2010, at St. Francis Xavier School in Brooklyn, NY.

Highly physical, the last of the leaves uses the driving and churning idiosyncrasies of John Adam’s “Shaker Loops” to explore the mysteries surrounding the cycles of human life. Birth, illness, death, and the different energies needed to experience them, are points of departure for this piece as eight dancers journey through qualities both distant and tender.

Dolce is a rich and joyful exploration of the different relationships women share. Set to the playful and passionate score by Edvard Grieg, the music of "Holberg Suite" leads the way as the six ladies of SYREN lusciously move through space in groups, duets, and trios. The movement vocabulary is filled with jumps, turns and intricate partnering and is tightly connected to Grieg's versatile score.
