NCDE presents an evening of modern dance based on five centuries of paintings and sculpture. From poignant to hilarious, the dances take their inspiration from artwork ranging from a sixteenth-century study of female musicians to a Matisse collage, the abstract precision of Mondrian, and Op Art, with stops along the way for impressionism and midcentury modern sculpture.
