COMPANY PREMIERE 
Joshua L. Peugh
Klezmer Juice Yma Sumac Ella Fitzgerald
15 minutes
Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing Arts, 2012

A wild, aggressive dance about courtship and the instinctual rituals of mating set to klezmer, jazz, and mambo music

Press Reviews
"[Peugh's] romantic parody Slump — featuring '50s costumes, riotous klezmer music and, yes, trademark slumping — is consistently amusing, no mean feat."
CHICAGO TRIBUNE

"Movements are simultaneously strenuous and fluid, harsh and delicate, serious and amusing. Floppy. Flumpy. Slumpy."
BROAD STREET REVIEW

"...explores the human condition using comedy and commenting on sexually provocative manners..."
THE DANCE ENTHUSIAST
