Cambridge MA, March 22, 2019 -- Boston-based company Mystique Illusions Dance Theatre will present their third evening-length production, All Around + In Between, in Cambridge, MA on March 22-23 and in Burlington, MA on April 13-14. In a society that increasingly supports disconnection and relishes conflict, All Around + In Between hones in on the empathetic energy that can exist between beings on an emotional, spiritual, and even a physical level. Using elements of ballet, vogue, house dance, and acrobatic partnering as the basis for movement vocabulary, Mystique Illusions Dance Theater uses sleek, elegant movement to explore common themes of the human experience. In his newest piece, director Ronnie Terrell Thomas draws inspiration from the energy that transfers between bodies in motion to examine influence -both good and bad- that occurs beyond intention. Through energetic transference, All Around + In Between aims to explore what it means to be humane, and to act as an illustration of that sensitivity. 

The evening includes video projections, narrative voice over, re-workings of MIDT’s repertory from the past three years, as well as several new works.  Group works will include re-stagings from 2018’s What Ascends from Ashes and MIDT’s 2016 premiere work, Untamed Behaviors, as well as the premiere of a new ensemble piece, Am I Able To Stand?, featuring students from New England Movement Arts. Smaller works include a duet and trio, as well as two new solos, including The Distance I’ve Traveled featuring new company dancer Annette Ellis with music by Aretha Franklin, and A Place With No Name featuring director Ronnie Thomas set to music from Prince. The evening will culminate in the premiere of All Around + In Between, featuring music by Zero 7, Aphex Twin, Paula Temple, Nils Frahm and lighting by Erik Fox.

Mystique Illusions Dance Theatre was founded in 2016 by Artistic Director /resident choreographer Ronnie Terrell Thomas. Our sole  purpose is to use dance and theater as catalysts to create new dialogues, transcending the evolution of movement without the confinement of emotional, spiritual or physical boundaries.
