For the fourth time, Tacoma contemporary dance whiz-kid Joel Myers is putting on the Joel Show - an evening of his own and others' choreography. Myers, a principal artist with Seattle's Spectrum Dance, is filling out his rising career with other top-notch companies like Seattle Opera, Bellevue Opera and DASS dance in New York, and his moves manage to combine terrific eye-candy with intense expression.
Until now the Joel Shows have been at the School Of The Arts theater, but with the recent space collaboration of Tacoma City Ballet and BareFoot Studios, other dancers are getting in on the act. Myers is one of them: His Joel Show IV will happen this weekend in the Tacoma City Ballet ballroom.
So what's in the show? "The show will have five brand spanking new works, all choreographed over the past few weeks," says Myers. "Two will have live music, one by Motopony's Daniel Blue and the other with pianist Monty Carter playing Prokofiev." Also dancing will be Danny and Sylvian Boulet, who danced with Spectrum Dance Theater last season, incoming SOTA sophomore Kimberly Frankle and TCB's own Heather Arneson.
The Joel Show is presented by MOVE!, the event series from MLKBallet, which runs tuition-free dance classes at Urban Grace Church and where Myers also teaches. A portion of all proceeds will go to support MLK Ballet programs.
The Joel Show IV will be at 7 p.m. July 25 and 2 p.m. July 26th at Tacoma City Ballet, 508 6th Ave., Tacoma. Tickets are $10 adults/$5 for 18 and under, from www.Brownpapertickets.com/event/70101
