-RTG Dance will be showing a solo choreographed by
Rachel Thorne Germond and danced by Megan Thompson.
Mnemonic (Under the Rainbow) is a short solo about the experience of having
a memory of a specific place. It is slow moving at
times and at others shifts into restlessness with
quick precise movements. Critic Laura Molzahn of the
Chicago Reader described this solo as Òa perfect balance
of reserve and emotionÓ.
