Hope Stone Artistic Director Jane Weiner was so inspired by Antoniaยs Line, a Dutch film about a woman who takes up with a village of ยoutcasts and losers because she sees the beauty in them,ย she set about choreographing a piece that would capture the same feel, including the way the film deals with time. ยThere is a circular feeling to the film, and I try to recreate that in the dance,ย says Weiner. The result is Village of Waltz, which features original music by Peter Jones, who will be performing live along with soprano Ana Treviรฑo-Godfrey. Todayยs world-premiere performance is a culmination of a project thatยs been a year in the making. 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The Wortham Center, 500 Texas.
