Be a part TAKE Dance's decade of "mesmerizing" contemporary dance with the world premiere of Takehiro Ueyama's THERE AND HERE,  a work exploring the nature of the life after life that will be performed March 26-28, 2015 at the Schimmel Center at Pace University. 

TAKE DANCE will present THERE AND HERE, an evening-length dance work created in celebration of our 10th Anniversary Season. This project represents a new level of ambition for the Company's annual New York City Season, challenging choreographer Takehiro Ueyama to create his second-ever full-evening work, this time on the theme of the process of life and the nature of the afterlife. Joining Ueyama on what will be their first collaborative exploration will be the award-winning musician, composer and producer Hideki Kato, noted Mexican fashion designer César Alcocer and several Special Guest performers who have been associated with TAKE Dance throughout its first successful decade of dance. 

On THERE AND HERE, Take says,

"THERE AND HERE is a work that explores the process of life and the nature of the afterlife.
The body integrates through time with the landscape in a barely perceivable alteration. Through this transition toward the life after life, this metamorphic shifting, the body and the spirit remain as elements of the universe.
As we age, space and time change. The meaning behind our approach shifts as we live and our actions/reactions reflect our life histories.  Memory is stored in the body, thus our body becomes our memories.  Over time, we rely on this memory settled in our bodies.  Life’s beauty becomes the memory chiseled in the body.  As living organisms connected to the ever-evolving universe, we are integrated as a part of the natural environment. We are but stones, whose movements cause the ripple in the water."

The cast of THERE AND HERE includes Associate Director Jill Echo, TAKE Dance alumni Amy Kleinendorst, Orion Duckstein and Nana Tsuda Misko, current company members Brynt Beitman, John Eirch, Kile Hotchkiss, Gina Ianni and Marie Zvosec and Special Guest Miki Orihara.
