A Brand New Dance That Explores The Violence Of Our New Generation

NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Roschman Dance is proud to present the premiere of its third evening length production, Lord of The Fly Girls, at the Main Stage Theater at the West Side Dance Project.  Lord of The Fly Girls examines the intersection between violence and sexual maturation, the exploitation of the youth culture, the hostility and brutality generated towards those who feel same sex attraction, and dangerous interplay of shame and lust in the education of contemporary young adults. Inspired by the prevalence of violence in schools, and the growing need to address the issues of young adults face in this new society,  the piece is danced by Carolyn Barry, Alexandra Mount Campbell, Jonathan Cooper, Michael Gonzalez Cameron, Maryann Peterson, and Brittany Pressley.
