For a small dance company, ten years is a significant milestone. Youยve survived, a monumental and rare achievement in an era of tight funding for small troupes, and itยs likely that youยve sharpened and refined your artistic vision ย something that can absolutely be said about Psophonia Dance Company, which celebrates its decade-long existence tonight. ยMoments in a Decade,ย a multifaceted retrospective collecting highlights from the contemporary dance groupยs active, innovative history, includes oldies like 1998ยs How Sweet It Is, 2000ยs Skinned and 2007ยs Bent, as well as an excerpt from last yearยs Phantasia. The performance, which features music ranging from Bach to Tom Waits to Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara, is meant to be a celebration, which Psophonia deserves ย theyยre as old as the Euro, and going just as strong. 8 p.m. Through June 21. Barnevelder Arts/Movement Complex, 2201 Preston. For information, call 713-802-1181 or visit www.psophonia.com. $10 to $12.
