The Woeful Maladies of Ennui Manor and Other Mixed Repertory

In celebration of six successful years of performing throughout Southern California, Backhausdance presents an evening of company repertory at the Irvine Barclay Theatre. The evening includes a world premiere piece by esteemed choreographer, Jodie Gates, artistic director of Laguna Dance Festival, and three works choreographed by Jennifer Backhaus:The Woeful Maladies of Ennui Manor, Arrive, and Shift.

Backhausdance brings to the stage the athleticism and grace that has propelled Orange County’s premier dance company since its inception in 2003. Jennifer Backhaus, recently commissioned by Los Angeles Ballet, and her company of dancers will perform The Woeful Maladies of Ennui Manor, a stunning visual and narrative work set on a blanket of grass. Arrive was commissioned in part by the McCallum Theatre Institute. The following quote by poet laureate Maya Angelou was the inspiration for creating the piece: “Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.” Finally, Shift, an elegant four-part work and winner of multiple Lester Horton awards, will close the evening with a sense of uplifting hope.

Mural, gift projects at mall reflects Boys & Girls Club members’ thoughts, creativity

Murals created by members of the Aliso Viejo Branch of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Capistrano Valley will soon be on display at the Disney Store in the Laguna Hills Mall, as part of a creative project in celebration of Earth Day.

Disney store “cast members” recently helped the kids create mini masterpieces based on Earth Day and what it means to them. The project will be featured in the display window of the Disney Store mid-month.

On April 28, the Boys & Girls Club members will get their creative juices flowing working with the JC Penney Department store on a similar engaging volunteer project that includes designing creative gifts in honor of Mother’s Day. The project takes place from 3 to 5 p.m. at the store located at 24200 Laguna Hills Mall, Laguna Hills.

The Aliso Viejo Boys & Girls Club, which is housed at the city’s Family Resource Center at Iglesia Park, provides kids with fun year-round activities and programs.
