PRESS RELEASE

Cheered by the LA Times Victoria Looseleaf as a breath of fresh air and heartfelt the PostHouse Dance Group will be presenting The Ties That Bind in Hollywood at the Assistance League Playhouse on May 21 & 22 2004 at 8:00pm and May 22 at 2:30pm. Choreographer Diana MacNeil’s company of artists will be performing new and old work in a program featuring the best in contemporary dance and original music united with classical traditions. A varied program discovering and defining relationships between families, women, lovers and friends, The Ties That Bind has a message for all ages.

The premiere of the re-constructed Anhalter Bahnhof creates the world of women lost behind the Berlin Wall in the spring of Chernobyl and Chosen Companions finds the timeless loveliness of a confident young girl. Father and son feel the pain of the gradual separation during adolescence in "Bach Duet/You Are for Me" and Jennifer Flanagan in Fanatic looks for a way to win at the courtship ritual.

Film composer Jeff Rona (White Squall, The Mothman Prophesies, Chicago Hope) again joins the Group with a return to the Horton award nominated The Fall of the House of Usher and the wild and crazy audience favorite If All Else Fails gets a fresh venue.

A special Childrens matinee on Saturday May 22 will feature Poulenc's The Story of Babar played live by Michael Grady and narrated by Michael Immel and danced by the company.
