Battery Dance Company performs "I'll Take You There" featuring the
music of Polarity/1 as part of the 26th Annual Downtown Dance Festival
Battery Dance Company, among New York City's foremost cultural
ambassadors, performed music from NY-based composer and recording
artist Polarity/1 as part of the 26th Annual Downtown Dance Festival.
For the 26th year in a row, the Downtown Dance Festival provides a
unique opportunity for professional dancers and choreographers as well
as emerging dancers and choreographers to present original works of
high artistic merit.
Battery Dance Company featured four tracks from Polarity/1's albums
'Speechless' and 'Prettier Than You' during the "I'll Take You There"
performance held on Saturday, August 25th at Battery Park. This
follows four additional compositions by Polar choreographed earlier
this year by the Company. He has also served as Music Supervisor,
scored and wrote songs for the film In Debt We Trust, directed by
Danny Schechter and has just completed work another film for
Schechter.
The music of Polarity/1 is exactly what the name suggests: conjoined
opposites - a mash-up of new: cutting edge electronica/hip hop/nu-jazz
and old: roots music of America (blues, funk, country, early jazz),
Brazil (samba, pagode, etc.) and West African groove science. "
Polarity/1 is perhaps best known for his political songs which are a
regular feature of Amy Goodman's globally syndicated Democracy Now,
NPR and many other politics-oriented broadcasts, used in college
courses on media and licensed for use in documentaries.
