Due to the results of the National Hand Size and Temperature Survey of 2010, Suniti Dernovsek and David Stein were kindly asked to step down from their title as Hot Little Hands. The title is to be gifted to 'one with true miniature mitts of fire'.

The company formally known as Hot Little Hands was, however recently crowned with the new title of BOBBEVY (short for The Grand Contemporary Dance Royal of Portland)

Conduit's 15 year celebration

2010-06-29T14:40:00.000-07:00

Hot Little Hands will be performing as part of Conduit's 15 year celebration.

We have created a short dance inspired by the Quinceañera a rite of passage when a young girl is symbolically escorted into womanhood. Fifteen was the age when many young women left their family home to become wives and then mothers. One enters her Quinceañera as a child but emerges as a young woman with new responsibilities. As part of the ceremony the young girl is given a new pair of shoes to symbolize her movement into adulthood.

Hot Little Hands is performing on the first 2 evenings July 8th and 9th then catch a new showcase the following weekend.

July 8, 9, 10, 11 (Thursday-Sunday) @ 8:00 pm
at the Conduit Dance Performance Site

Throughout the evening there will be a silent auction of drawings by David Stein. All proceeds will benefit the making of Hot Little Hands next big thing!

The Variety Show promises to be a great show featuring such artists as, Portland dance company, Hot Little Hands fuses detailed movement, wearable art and original music to create a timeless and hauntingly beautiful experience. Joe von Appen a Portland based writer/solo performer whose work restlessly traverses the lines between monologue, rant, confession and tangent, exploring the inner lives of uniquely American misfits in a not-so-distant dystopia. Angela Fair likes to air out her psyche for the amusement of others. Her performances may include but are not limited to: acting in tandem with video, satire and/or parody, 80's nostalgia and mild hyperventilation. Other acts include premieres by John Bielecki coming in from NYC, Ernest Adams, CJ and the Dolls, Jessica Burton, Summer Morgan, and Kaj-anne Pepper.

Lawn of the Limp is the latest creation from local dance company Hot Little Hands. Co-Artistic directors David Stein and Suniti Dernovsek invite you into a fantastical land, where other worldly characters dance to the music of Jay Clarke

This story begins with two characters chasing a stray ball into forbidden territory when they come across a strange woman lying motionless on the ground. As she comes to life a bizarre relationship develops until its tragic end.

The performance is set within what was once a black box... now a kaleidoscopic explosion of colors consumes the theater with wall to wall murals that represent the bizarre landscape. Painted by David Stein.

Lawn of the Limp fuses dance, wearable art, paintings, installation and music to create a dark yet playful experience. Performed by Robyn Conroy, Ryan Cross, and Aurora Erlander-Miller Music by Jay Clarke, Costumes by Selene Gibbous (not pictured), Wigs by Lana Guerra.
