DANCE HEGINBOTHAM

Caprice 5 & 6

In this ambitious new virtual dance on film project, Dance Heginbotham (DH) collaborates with violinist Colin Jacobsen, "one of the most interesting figures on the classical music scene" (The Washington Post). DH founder John Heginbotham, his team of dancers and some surprise guest artists explore the eclectic, delightful, dark and melancholic turns of Niccolò Paganini's 24 Caprices for Solo Violin. Creating 24 miniature dances on film throughout this iconic city, each caprice is a captivating jewel, rhythmically intricate and varied in range, capturing a moment in this unprecedented time. With generous commissioning support from the Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth College and The National Center for Choreography at University of Akron (NCCAkron), DH will share the world premiere of the newest installments of 24 Caprices at a virtual watch party. As part of the event, DH dancer and Dartmouth alumna Mykel Nairne '16 joins John and Colin for a discussion about their creative process.
