Our Winter show generally features our company of dancers performing new and revisited works by RS Artistic Director Erinn Liebhard, and often features live music created and performed by local collaborators.
PAST WINTER SHOWS
| RadioBody: Radiohead Danced and Played in Jazz |
February 10-11th, 2023
We were excited to return to the Amsterdam Bar & Hall to present RadioBody: Radiohead Danced and Played in Jazz, a stage show driven by the toil and triumph embedded in the music of pioneering alt-electronic band Radiohead. Featuring live dance, screen dance and projection designs set to original jazz renditions of Radiohead tunes played live by a quartet of excellent local jazz musicians, this show thrilled dance, jazz and Radiohead lovers alike.
| Riffin’: A Jazz-Danced Celebration of Human Interaction |
November 3-4, 2021
Rhythmically Speaking was thrilled to return to live, indoor performance at Amsterdam Bar & Hall for Riffin’: A Jazz-Danced Celebration of Human Interaction. As a nod to being able to get back together after an extended period of time away from one another, we explored how we humans thrive off interacting with (or riffing off!) not only each other, but also complex rhythms and grooves! In this show, we used our signature groove, interaction and improvisation-based approach to jazz dance to enliven this concept, along with a combo of live jazz musicians led by guitarist and composer Mike Lauer.
| CHILL: The Entire “Charlie Brown Christmas” Soundtrack, Played Live & Danced! |
December 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2023 | PRESS LOG
As the weather chills, our dancers chill into choreography and improvisations set to the groovy jazz tunes of Vince Guaraldi’s playful and nostalgic “Charlie Brown Christmas” soundtrack, played live by local quartet the Nordeast Jazz Band! As audience favorite CHILL runs at Amsterdam Bar & Hall St. Paul (home city to Peanuts creator Charles Schultz!), folks are welcomed to come have a meal before the show or a drink during, and kiddos are encouraged! Seating for this unique live holiday music and dance show is first come, first served, so come early.
