OUR NEW SHOW

---

SoMar Dance Works and the Allen Zurcher Quartet, announces their new production, Snow White and the Seven Deadly Sins. The event is scheduled for Saturday February 21st at 7:00 p.m. at the Walker Recital Hall on the campus of Mercyhurst University located at 501 E. 38th Street, Erie, PA. Admission is Free and open to the public.

Imagine taking a fairy tale princess, a magic mirror, several mortal vices and mixing it all with jazz tunes and innovative choreography. What you get is a concert of dance, music, and serious sins. In other words, SoMar Dance Works is back on stage reunited with the Allen Zurcher Quartet. This time they’re focusing their lens on the stumbling blocks of humanity: Envy, Lust, Greed, Sloth, Gluttony, Pride, and Wrath. This multi-media event will explore some of the darker aspects of our world and reflect upon the shadow side of our nature. 

SoMar Dance Works features the dances of Solveig and Mark Santillano. Serving as co-artistic directors, choreographers, and dancers, Solveig and Mark are seasoned performers who have danced all over the world. Their choreography has been influenced by their association with their former companies, Pilobolus Dance Theatre and Momix. Solveig and Mark are also the proud recipients of the inaugural Erie Arts & Culture Artist Fellowship. 

SoMar Dance Works made its premier in 1999 at the Missouri Fine Arts Academy. Since that time, SoMar has performed at the Erie Art Museum, Erie Festival of Dance, the American College Dance Festival, Celebrate Erie, The Brick Church for the Performing Arts in Lovell, Maine, Unitarian Universalists in Community concert, Luther Memorial Concert Series, The Fredonia Opera House, Grand Valley State University, overseas in Gothenburg, Sweden, Austria’s Young! Tanzsommer, and numerous Mercyhurst University programs, where the company is in-residence.
