Dunaway Center, 23 School Street, Ogunquit
Sojoy and the Annex Contemporary Dance Company combine their creative talents, and the exciting collaboration results in an exhilarating program of jazz and contemporary dance.
Jonny Peiffer leads his 7-piece band Sojoy in an evening of jazz compositions, mostly his own. Influenced by the big bands of the past, Peiffer’s music showcases modern arrangements and a variety of instrumentation. With Sojoy, his sublime, contemporary swingin’ little “Big Band”, Peiffer is inspired with the creation of music that instills joyous movement.
Kittery’s Annex Contemporary Dance Company joins Sojoy for performances of modern dance intermingled throughout the evening. Director Julie Hebb reflects the jazz influence in her choreography for her seven dancers. Her wide experience in contemporary training that includes Paul Taylor and Rebecca Kelly, is evident in vibrant performance.
