CHANT

NobleMotion Dance

CHANT

A ritual of movement and voice – embedded in the ancestral, imagined for the future

NobleMotion launches its 18th season with the world premiere of CHANT, a futuristic ritual of sound, movement, and sensory-driven technology. Set in a speculative, disconnected future where society yearns for ancient traditions, CHANT is part meditation, part kinetic protest. The evening features an original score by composer and multimedia artist Badie Khaleghian and vocal director Kari Francis. Together, they integrate live vocal chanting performed directly by the dancers, creating an immersive, multi-sensory interplay between breath, voice, and body. The choreography investigates how sound shapes physical movement and how communal vocalization can facilitate collective bonding and healing. Read more

Letras del pantano

Maribel Plasencia

Letras del pantano

A show featuring flamenco and contemporary dance with live musicians.

Letras del pantano (verses from the swamp) features flamenco and contemporary dance. Vignettes introduce the audience to moments in Renata, Pepa, and Penelope's lives, each inspired by places, sounds, and emotions experienced in a city with frequent trains and muddy paths. Each moment sparks a flamenco palo, or song form.

Letras del pantano was conceived by Maribel Plasencia in close collaboration with her twin sister, Marisa Plasencia. They will dance alongside bailaora Ana María Barceló. The show features singer Celia Corrales and guitarist José Manuel Tejeda.

This work is supported, in part, by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance.Read more
