World premiere of Come Home: The Chase Brock Experience

TANNERSVILLE―Catskill Mountain Foundation, in partnership with Works & Process at the Guggenheim, presents the world premiere of Come Home: The Chase Brock Experience on Saturday, April 4 at 7 p.m. at the Orpheum Performing Arts Center in Tannersville.

Propelled by shanties and songs of the sea, this foot-stomping evening of strapping and evocative dance conjures a crew of restless mariners hurling themselves through salt and spray toward first light. Come Home seeks to illuminate the audience in a new way, creating depth or dramatic value to these songs. The music, which can be simultaneously fun, ancient and new, or emotionally cathartic, carries us away for a short time and allows us to continue that journey afterwards.

Chronogram writes, “Come Home channels the vigor of sea shanties into stomping rhythms, spray-tossed movement and a surge of maritime myth crashing through contemporary choreography.”

Incorporating different kinds of dance, Come Home has modern dance movement, tap dance movement, all sorts of folk dance movement, and ballet. Brock, whose choreography was recently seen in the cult-hit musical Be More Chill on Broadway, loves to blur those boundaries, and he has been that kind of dance maker for as long as he can remember.

See the world premiere of Come Home by The Chase Brock Experience on Saturday, April 4 at 7 p.m. at the Orpheum Performing Arts Center, 6050 Main Street, Tannersville. Arrive early to find available parking in the municipal or other parking lots. The show is 75 minutes plus a 15-minute talk back, with no intermission.
