June 6, 2009 at 8:00 pm June 7, 2009 at 7:00 pm Barnevelder Theater 7th Annual Big Range Dance Festival:  Suchu Dance will premiere a new work, different from that presented on June 5, for nine dancers, along with works never before presented in Houston by George Staib and Dancers from Atlanta, GA.  Tickets go on sale May 6. 2005: Arts & Entertainment Best Modern Dance Company Suchu Dance   Jennifer Wood, the choreographic engine behind Suchu Dance, has been toiling away crafting dance after dance for the past 11 years. It's been said that Wood doesn't make dances -- instead, she creates worlds where dance happens. She has directed ten full-length works and seems remarkably comfortable in the form. Her vivid imagination, combined with a natural sense of theatricality, makes for consistently compelling adventures. This past year, Wood's richly textured Roseburn took us to an imaginary tableau contest, and Maximal Schnapper conjured waves, gulls and all things beachy. Suchu's dancers are unique as well: full of personality, impish charm and organic verve. This past spring, Wood stretched her choreographic chops to collaborate with Infernal Bridegroom Productions on Medea. It was, without a doubt, a great match.
