Description: <br><br>
<b>UCR DEPARTMENT OF DANCE <br><br>
Bananaritis</b> <br>
Choreography by Tim Rubel, MFA candidate in Dance,<br>
in collaboration with dancers: Adanna Jones, Ann Mazzocca, John Medina,
and Melissa Templeton<br><br>
Inspired by the writings of Eugene Ionesco, this piece combines
theatrical absurdity with contemporary dance styles to create a world
where communication is confusing rather than clarifying, and human beings
transform into tasty objects before one’s very eyes. Set against a
backdrop of intimate relationships, this transformative climate tempts
those involved to succumb to a new world order mob-mentality.<br><br>
<b>Tim Rubel</b> is a choreographer, dancer and teacher. He creates
dances for concert stages, regional theatres and community arts
events. He was the founder and Artistic Director of The
Theatre Expansion in Providence, Rhode Island where he directed and
choreographed most of their productions. Highlights include
directing the Rhode Island premiere of the play Painted Alice as well as
the world premieres of the Dance Theatre pieces Sikyatki and Tim's own,
Berenger's Body. Tim also produced the work of many local and
regional dance artists through Theatre Expansion's Dancestravaganza
festival. He danced professionally with Fusionworks Dance Company
in Rhode Island and with Windhover Dance Company in Massachusetts. His
choreography has been presented on both U.S. coasts at various places
including Anatomy Riot (Los Angeles), Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theatre
(Cape Cod), The Dance Complex (Boston), Perishable Theatre (Providence)
and several others. He is currently an MFA candidate in the
Department of Dance at UC Riverside where he has also taught
Dance.<br><br>
<i>Bananaritis</i> is presented by the University of California,
Riverside, Department of Dance. Tim Rubel created this work in partial

Dance at the University of California, Riverside.<br><br>
