Even the smallest artistic works can have a grand impact.

That’s the message of Ormao Dance Company’s upcoming show, “small. works.” The intimate show, set in Ormao’s Black Box Theater, will feature a visual art gallery, a small sound experience and a handful of short dance performances.

Before watching the main performance, audience members will be invited to see an exhibition curated by Lauren Ciborowski. This gallery will consist of works under 12 inches in any dimension, said Janet Johnson, executive director of Ormao Dance Company.

After the visual showcase, the studio will hold a deep listening experience of a small flute composition by University of Colorado Colorado Springs associate professor Jane Rigler.

“She is so inventive in her ways of bringing different sound experiences to people,” Johnson said of Rigler. “It’s a really simple idea, but a quiet, fragile soundscape is a perfect way to get everybody in that space and ready to receive the dance part of it, which will be a mixture of different choreographers.”

The main dance show will open with a piece by New York City-based choreographer Brandon Coleman. In this trio piece, “TV Episode 001”, the dancers perform within a set mimicking an old living room, with a monologue where the reader realizes they’re on-air.

“Sometimes we feel like we always need to be on, but what if we’re off — not feeling ‘on’. How does that feel?” Johnson said about the dance. “I think that invites a lot of introspection for us to think about our lives, and how do we respond to situations when we’re not feeling it.”

After that performance, there will be another trio dance to a mixed score piece, choreographed by Pikes Peak State College adjunct professor Ashley Oswald, who examines the size of the natural world and just how small humans are. The show will conclude with three duet pieces from Chuck Wilt that debuted in April.

Johnson has been wanting to create a small works show for a while now, she said. With the recently completed Black Box Theater, it just seemed right.

“I feel like it is a really special opportunity when you can be that close to dancers and hear them breathing, feel them run by you. It’s really a more immersive kind of experience,” she said.

“This is the time where we can bring people in and hopefully have them make a deeper connection to our work, because they’re up so close.”
