Eccentric, morbid, spooky and more than a little bit kooky – the far from normal Addams family faces a normal family challenge when their macabre daughter, Wednesday, falls in love with Lucas, a sweet young man from a respectable family who her parents have never met. Worried her family might not approve of this all-too-normal match, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Things take a hilarious turn when the Addams family hosts a dinner for Lucas and his unsuspecting parents. On that fateful evening, relationships are tested, secrets are revealed, and the Addams family tackles both love and change by embracing the wackiness that resides in every family.

In a world that seemingly fragments people and ideas into small components, this dance production reflects on the relation of parts to the whole. Our foundational interdependence on each other in society and on the health of our natural world provide living examples of connectivity. Essential to dance, a living tradition passes technique and choreography from body to body and depends on the wisdom of the past informing the present. Whether demonstrating kinetic synchronization or building on the experience of artists who developed dance traditions, we present this concert as an inspired model of interdepen/Dance.
This program features José Limón’s Choreographic Offering, his stunning tribute to the dance master and Chicago native, Doris Humphrey, as well as choreography by guest artist, Tracey Franklin. Including original work by Amy Michelle Wilkinson, Raúl Díaz Maroto Casasola and Kara Hoag, Interdepen/Dance engages our faculty and student artistry celebrating wholeness and interconnectivity.
