DEVIATED THEATRE

Odenton, Maryland

Cause Description:
Husband and wife team, Enoch Chan and Kimmie Dobbs Chan, founded DEVIATED THEATRE in 2008. The pair utilizes a mix of dance, acting, and aerials to tell fantastical stories of other worlds in order to shed light on the human condition. Choreographer Kimmie Dobbs Chan’s movement, at times pedestrian and precise, resonates with Director Enoch Chan's enigmatic aesthetic to evoke powerful and even haunting imagery. Their work has received recognition including 'Best of 2014' by DC Metro Theater Arts, the Individual Artists Award for Choreography from the Maryland State Arts Council (2014, 2011), Audience Favorite at the Breaking Glass Project NYC (2013), Mark Ryder Original Choreography Grant (2012), and the John F. Kennedy Center Local Dance Commission (2011). DEVIATED THEATRE tours with a dozen performers for each original production and has performed nationally at venues including The Kennedy Center in D.C. and Ailey Citigroup Theater in N.Y.C. DEVIATED THEATRE plans to launch a new production in the coming year, so please stay connected via www.deviatedtheatre.org, and on FB/Twitter/Instagram @deviatedtheatre DEVIATED THEATRE is committed to pioneering and perfecting the 'dance-opera', which is theatrical storytelling through movement, dance, and circus, as a vehicle for fantasy and inter-reflection. We ask our audience to join us on a departure from the norm, to the melting pot of the psyche where light mingles with dark. We believe in developing and sharing fresh choreography and stories that explore the awkward, engage the spirit, embrace the ugly, and reframe the spectacular.
