Kacico Dance presents Choosing Chelsea.
Kansas City Metro Area- Kacico Dance presents Choosing Chelsea, a fantastical contemporary dance tale for the whole family with choreography by Kacico Dance Artistic Director, Michelle Diane Brown and original story created by Brown along with Marcy L. North, Professor of English at PennStateUniversity, and sister of Brown. Chelsea, the main character, travels on a journey of choices encountering curious characters and puzzling situations: a shifty road full of rhythm, a hissing trio of coiling snakes, moving doors, a shattered window that comes to life, a game playing quartet of leopards and much more. Kacico Dancers Kathryn Cowan, Lindsay Spilker Tate, Julie DeLancey Rudolph, Shandi Miller, Allison Kaut, Holly Noel Harmison, and Lindsay Stroot bring this enchanting contemporary dance story to life. They are joined by hip hop dancer Essence Brock from KC, KS. The wonderful music that accompanies the dancing includes work by Los Angeles Guitar Quartet, Michael Torke, Mondo Beat, Paul Schoenfield and more. Lighting: Brad Hull Stage Managing and Lighting Assistant: Josh Gregory Set: Laura Burkhart and Alex Perry. Come experience the journey with Chelsea.

Review: From eKC online theatre/dance January 20, 2006 "Accomplishments through dedication." by David Ollington excerpt from review about Modern Night at the Folly performance, Jan. 14, 2006. "Michelle Diane Brown, founder and artistic director of Kacico Dance, danced a clever comic solo titled "Restless Leg Syndrome." In a white unitard adorned with fur-like strips of fabric on the legs, she got laughs by playing with and against Edvard Grieg's music, rustling the leg fabric and proficiently mugging with fine comic timing."
