Danzas y Canciones – Dancing to songs of Spanish composer Xavier Montsalvatge. Live performance of Montsalvatge’s “Five Black Songs” (1945) describes in music and verse the experience of colonialism in South America through haunting melodies and Afro-Cuban rhythms, interpreted by lyrical and inventive dance by Janelle Gilchrist Dance Troupe and music by Boston Arts Consort.
Journeys 2018 - a contemporary ballet choreographed by Janelle Gilchrist is set to the recordings of three African American women composers: Florence Price, Undine Smith Moore, and Jessie Montgomery.

Our Inaugural Performance.

Discombobulated was commissioned by Regis College for live, online performance in early December 2020. Returning to in-studio rehearsals and collaborating with film-maker and professor Rui-Rui Zhang presented rich opportunities for artists to explore human interactions with one another and ourselves over the first six months of the pandemic. Discombobulated is a living work, able to evolve as our understandings of our world shift between virtual, physical, emotional and artistic realms.
