PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Rhode Island College Dance Company will host the New Haven-based Elm City Dance Collective and their evening-length dance work titled “Almost Porcelain” on Thursday and Friday, March 27 and 28, at 7:30 p.m. in the Forman Theatre, 600 Mt. Pleasant Ave., Providence. “Almost Porcelain” is choreographed by dance collective co-founder and RIC alumna Kellie Ann Lynch ’03. Admission is $15.
This newest work by the Elm City Dance Collective was inspired by Lynch’s personal struggle with self-perception. Lynch describes this work as “a collage of physical explorations stimulated by such concepts as distortion, avoidance, intimacy and the human desire to be seen.”
“It is a collective attempt to process how we see ourselves and how we see each other,” she said.
