KRUSTA (pronounced crew-stab and ancient Greek for percussive
instruments ) brings their newest program of original choreography performed with
live music to the Evelyn Smith Music Theatre. This dynamic, small, clectro-acoustical
new music/modern dance ensemble was founded two years ago by pianist and newmusic specialist, Madeline Williamson, renowned choreographer and dancer Elina
Mooney, and percussionist and electronic media specialist, Douglas Nottingham.
Williamson and Mooney are, respectively, Professors of Music and Dance in the
Herberger College of Fine Arts at Arizona State University and Nottingham is
Associate Professor at Glendale Community College. KRUSTA is an ad hoc company
with affiliate artists—both dancers and musicians—dependent on repertoire being
performed. This unique new music/dance ensemble was formed specifically to
perform the rich repertoire of contemporary works written for piano(s), percussion,
and digital applications or other instruments. KRUSTA is committed to perpetuating
the live performance of music with the original modern dance choreography of
Mooney and invited guest choreographers.
KRUSTA Affiliates featured in tonight's program are Brazilian pianist
Rubia Santos from the piano faculty of Central Michigan University; Seattle,
Washington solo dancer and choreographer Melissa Rolnick; Phoenix solo dancers
Carley Condor, Marilyn Maywald, and Steven Recker; faculty artists from Paradise
Valley Community College pianist Andria Fennig, and percussionist Brett Reed;
solo dancer Candace Ammerman, faculty at Chandler-Gilbert Community College;
and ASU dance faculty, Leanne Schmidt. In addition, KRUSTA is delighted to have
as special guest artist on the program, choreographer Mary Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald is a
frequent creator for ASU's Institute for Studies in the Arts and was a member of Kei
Takei's Moving Earth for nearly ten years, performing and teaching internationally. From
1988 to 1993, Ms. Fitzgerald also served as one of the Artistic Directors of Dancer's
Workshop in Portland, OR, and is currently on the faculty of ASU's Dance Department.
KRUSTA is also assisted this evening by their technical director Mark Ammerman,
and electronics specialist Eric Schultz.
KRUSTA has received numerous invitations for 2005-06 to present
residencies at major institutions, community arts venues and festivals throughout the
U.S. With the assistance of a recently awarded Collaborative Arts Grant from the
Katherine K. Herbcrgcr College of Fine Arts, KRUSTA also plans to annually
commission and premiere a new musical work, to expand their outreach to public
schools and community arts centers, and to continue expanding their repertoire and
residencies. For further information please see the web site at krustaensemble.org.
