BY IVY MOORE Special to The Sumter Item

Contemporary dance is more popular than ever, and Sumter Civic Dance Company artistic director Andrea Freed-Levenson is more enthusiastic than ever about the future of the style. The company will present its 19th-annual contemporary dance concert Friday at Patriot Hall. Titled “Emotion in Motion,” the concert will feature seven pieces by winners of the Young Choreographers Award, also established in 2000. Freed-Levenson, who choreographed five pieces for the concert, said she’s gratified to have so many young dancers also doing choreography. T.J. Warren’s story is representative of the talented young dancers in the company. “I found him five years ago at an elementary school in Kershaw County where I was doing a workshop as an artist-in-residence (with the S.C. Arts Commission),” Freed-Levenson said. “He came up to me and asked, ‘Can I show you a dance?’ “He’d never had a dance lesson. I was so impressed with what he did, I PHOTO PROVIDED told his parents if they could get him The Sumter Civic Dance Company performs to “God Bless America,” sung by Celine Dion.

Dancers are drawn to those, and they can go to YouTube (online), can take ideas from those and use them for their own choreography without copying them. They get ideas on different styles, lifts, movement from them — hundreds and hundreds of ideas. Movement is how you incorporate dance into the music.” The most dramatic piece, she said, Freed-Levenson works closely with is “Say Something,” a contemporary the young choreographers, also noting piece “that tells a nice little story.” It that “This group of dancers are a good was choreographed by Warren. fit together — There’s no jealousy, they Freed-Levenson said “Emotion in support each other, and most of them Motion” is approximately an hour are in the others’ pieces.” and 15 minutes long.

36 W. Liberty St., Sumter, South Carolina 29150 • Founded October 15, 1894 PoliticalCOMMENTARY circuses

BY WILLIAM Q. BRUNSON

ur political system, including both the Democratic and Republican parties, has been described at various times as Oa circus. And for many years the late Drew Pearson penned a popular syndicated col- umn whose title, “The Washington Merry Go Round,” was apparently inspired by the popular carnival ride. Neither is a perfect metaphor here, but like carnival rides and circuses, both politi- cal parties have their share of clowns, two-head- ed animals, fire breathers, illusionists and con- tortionists who too often go around in circles while actually seeming to go nowhere. Their sideshow barkers, hoping to draw voters into their respective political tents, frequently make vague promises crafted to be interpreted by indi- vidual voters to suit their own hopes and fears. When attending the democratic circus, the first thing one notices from the parking area is how LETTERS TO THE EDITOR large and colorful their tent is. Inside this spa- cious tent are not three but four rings of per- HERE’S A PLAN FOR CALIFORNIA to fill in the cracks of your earthquakes. Of course formers.
