BUGGED!
Ellicott City, MD – On Sunday, March 4th, Howard County-based Kinetics Dance
Company unveils BUGGED! an ALL NEW,
original young audiences production.
Join an ensemble of professional
dancers as they creep, crawl, weave, fly, spin, sting, and hatch a captivating
cast of creatures to life! Written and choreographed by Artistic
Director Lauren Tait, BUGGED! will transport
viewers into the hungry bullfrog’s fly-filled bog, a busy, buzzing beehive, the
chrysalis of the contemplative caterpillar, and the web of the bella
Tarantella, just to name a few. Featuring
costumes of original wearable artworks provided by MannequART and MD Fashion
Institute, as well as original poetry, dynamic props, and a delightful musical
compilation including original work by composer Ferdinand Maisel, BUGGED! will
dazzle audiences young and old.
Howard County Conservancy will be onsite to present a Free
childrens’ workshop based on the bugs depicted in the show at 2pm. Interactive “Meet the Cast” reception and
autograph signing after each show.
BUGGED is part of Kinetics Dance
Theatre’s Annual Family Concert Series, designed to make professional modern
dance accessible to young audiences. Family Concert Series productions

imaginative props, and vibrant costumes and music to result in a rich arts
