On Wednesday March 3, Hopkins' modern dance group Momentum Dance Theatre will be performing in the show "Feast Your Eyes, Feed Your Head," as a part of the Shriver Noonday Series.
Momentum Dance Theatre is a professional theater and dance group, based in Washington, D.C., which was formed with the mission to blend elemants of jazz, theatre, and modern dance into unique fusion performances.
Founded in 1986 by Roberta Rothstein, a social worker who is also the artistic director of the group, Momentum's dances incorporate contemporary politics as well as personal stories into their performaces. Many of the personal stories come from Rothstein's own life as she frequently draws on her experience working as a counselor in a maximum security prison with young parents, recovering drug addicts and the mentally ill. The music they use includes the works of such renowned jazz artists as Charlie Parker and Duke Ellington.
The program will take place in the Shriver Hall Auditorium at noon. Admission to the show is free. For further information, call the Johns Hopkins Office of Special Events at (443)-297-9900.
