A Shout from the Bones conceived and choreographed by Artistic Director Anne-Marie Mulgrew is a response to recent violent events, and the need for healing and action in today's world. This ongoing investigation examines contemporary issues that haunt and motivate us to face our humanity. A Shout explores themes of community, loss, resilience, understanding, joy, and hope. Built on a series of eleven charged scenes and dances using props, text, music, and projections, audiences are invited to create their own stories, share them, and discover a greater understanding of ourselves and the world we live in.
As an American contemporary dancemaker, the intent of my work is to provide a framework for thought, dialogue, and change. With so much unrest in today 's world, in this new work, I aspire to validate how dance has the power to bring awareness to an issue and to remind us of the need for beauty, empathy, relief, and joy in our lives. - Anne-Marie Mulgrew

Beautiful Chaos, an hourlong, full-length work, choreographed by Anne-Marie Mulgrew with dancers' input, is a collection of new dances and films inspired by the tumultuous world we live in today. In development since early 2020, sections were to premiere in AMM & DCO's June Concert cancelled by COVID19. Additional works were developed during the pandemic and set on the Company when able to rehearse in person. Beautiful Chaos aspires to raise questions by taking audiences on a quest that is poignant, uplifting, and joy. Beautiful Chaos premiered at AMM & DCO's 35th Anniversary, June 24-25, 2022. Chaos comes from Greek Khaos which means "formless primordial space." Many of us think about it is as danger, confusion, or turmoil but it can also be seen as an opportunity for exploration and transformation. The title resonates even more now in pandemic times where order and control are in constant flux. I was haunted by this title and notion of how beauty and chaos can coexist and support one another conceptually. Anne-Marie Mulgrew, Artistic Director; Choreographed/Concept/Direction by Anne-Marie Mulgrew with dancers' input Dancers: Em Godfrey, Anya Kress, Kate Lombardi, Anne-Marie Mulgrew, Hannah Murphy, Leslie Ann Pike, Ava Pizzi, Arielle Ridley; Technical Director: Sean Thomas Boyt
Works include:
-
Prelude 2022 was inspired by the physical space, the creative process, and the individual talents of the seven dancers and live marimba music by percussionist, Dr. Andy Thierauf Based on a movement score, it touches on themes of chaos and beauty sprinkled with phrases from the full work.
- Basking in Bach2022 six dancers, Bach Concerto for Oboe
This dance is a response to Bach's brilliance and timelessness. Earlier phrases were danced to a French love song. With the music change, the work became more intense and urgent involving a community that supports one another while joyfully navigating unknown spaces.
- Memories from Within 2021 a solo for longtime AMM & DCO dancer Leslie Ann Pike, to Bach Marcello Adagio Concerto for D Minor, the dance explores the inner landscape of one's internal chaos filled with emotions, memories, vulnerability.
- Chaos One 2022 a trio to music by Divan Gattamorta "Experiments."
This evolving dance examines an inner battle filled with doubt, fear and eventually hope amidst chaos.
- Stunned 2022 a dance for four dancers and six chairs, set to Steve Reich's "Nagoya Marimbas" played by Dr. Andy Thierauf. Conceived as a solo in a chair, Stunned is a response to COVID when everything stopped. It was created for a tiny space using a sparse movement vocabulary as if "stunned" by personal and world events.
- A Meditation on Healing the World 2022 a duet, set to Anonymous 4: Love Illusion: The Montpellier Codex 13th Century. With so much chaos (COVID, war, gun violence, racial, social, economic, and political injustice) this dance explores the need to heal, hope, listen, allow, and encourage change.
- Quiet Power 2019 a solo for longtime AMM&DCO dancer Kate Lombardi to Ramin Djawadi. This dance invites us to enjoy the beauty of quiet power and resilience.
- Beautiful Chaos 2022 a full company work to Lucas King "Sociopath" Pain. Text: Simple Chaos selected poems of Yukio Tsuji "Silence." This dance informed by ideas and the haunting music seems to encompass society with all its ills and glories. "Out of chaos, the future emerges in harmony and beauty." Emma Goldman

A Tribute to Isaiah 2022
Video: Anne-Marie Mulgrew on cell phone Edited by Francesca Costanzo
Location Chi Movement Arts Philadelphia, PA
Isaiah Zagar's legendary witty, and chaotic public art works are a source of magic, madness, and delight. His iconic mosaic murals cover 50,000 square feet, enriching Philadelphia history. For years, I was fascinated by his works at The Painted Bride Arts Center, the Magic Gardens and other South Street sites, and the facade of Kun-Yang Lin Dancers/ Chi Movement Center. The colors, textures, shapes, sizes, repurposing of materials, text, scale, volume, and magnitude of his vision encapsulate for me concepts of "Beautiful Chaos." Anne-Marie Mulgrew

Anywhere/The Big 30 is a
30-minute work for five dancers and three musicians. This
abstract dance is informed by the ambiances and architecture
of the city which has nurtured Ms. Mulgrew's choreographic
creations for 30 years. It is developed in collaboration

(video artist). The concept of 30 is the departure point. It
examines one's sense of time and space. The work aspires to
look forward while reflecting on the past fusing dance,
music, new technologies and film. Ideas explore sensations,
memories and observations about one's journey over time, the
individual and the community, the relationships forged
within a group, and how one is informed and impacted by the
world we live in. |
