Owen/Cox Dance Group and the Kansas City Chorale's collaboration "and the darkness has not overcome it" has been nominated for a Regional Emmy Award: Jennifer Owen, director; Charles Bruffy, conductor; Alec Nichols, editor
Originally planned as a live concert, this collaboration evolved due to pandemic restrictions into a filmed, free virtual performance. Set to the Kansas City Chorale's recording of Sergei Rachmaninoff's "All Night Vigil," the piece was filmed during the height of a COVID-19 surge and features the first and fifth movements of Rachmaninoff's acclaimed work, premiering online Easter Sunday 2021. The piece was choreographed by OCDG's co-founder Jennifer Owen and performed by OCDG dancers Winston Dynamite Brown, Emily Mushinski, and Laura Jones Wallner.

Owen/Cox Dance Group stands in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. The unnecessary violence and danger that the people of Ukraine are experiencing is heartbreaking. We are directly concerned for our partners in Kyiv, Poltava, and Kharkiv. The intention for the OCDG U.S. Department of State Public Diplomacy Tour has always been to spread tolerance and inclusivity along with expanding our understanding of who we are and what we can become through the healing of the arts. We hope for a speedy return to peace for the sake of all Ukrainians. |
