Better Get Hit in Your Soul
Dances inspired by the music, life and times of Charles Mingus
As part of the 2019 High Performance Rodeo
January 10 – 20, 2019
DJD Dance Centre
In 2013 DJD premiered a piece about the wild short life of Charles Mingus–a virtuoso bass player, accomplished pianist, bandleader and composer. Known as the ‘Angry Man of Jazz’ Mingus was a brilliant, mercurial and bodacious character. Back by popular demand, Better Get Hit in Your Soul gives audiences an ear and eye into the music of one of the most important figures in 20th century American music. Join us as we explore his music and some of the lighter and darker sides of his dramatic life.
Created and choreographed by Kimberley Cooper
Danced by the DJD company of 10 dancers
Featuring live and recorded music by Charles Mingus
