Winifred Haun & Dancers will premiere a new dance October 20 thru 22 at Historic Pleasant Home in Oak Park as part of Circle in the Square: New Works in Dance Theatre. The new solo, “Interim” is choreographed and danced by Winifred Haun.

“Interim” has been created especially for the tandem sitting room adjacent to the dining room at Pleasant Home. The sitting room creates a small procensium style space that Ms. Haun will perform in. “Interim” is performed to the music of George Crumb.

“Woman With(out) Child” is a solo dance that explores pregnancy loss. Ms. Galtieri’s dance has been re-staged for the library at Pleasant Home and features an original sound design by Clarence Fraher.

“Interim” and “Woman With(out) Child” can be seen as part of Circle in the Square: New Works in Dance Theatre on Friday and Saturday, October 20 and 21, 2006 at 7:30pm and Sunday, October 22 at 3:00pm at Pleasant Home mansion, 217 S.
