SUMMARY:Love Is A Game
DESCRIPTION:For Nova Linea’s spring concert\, “Love Is A Game\,” Artistic Director Jared Baker presents two evocative\, full-length works inspired by distinct musical artists.    \nThe evening opens with a new creation set to Bon Iver’s acclaimed debut album\, “For Emma\, Forever Ago.” This poignant work delves into themes of isolation\, loneliness\, and pain\, mirroring the album’s origins. Crafted during a harsh Wisconsin winter in a cabin north of Eau Claire\, Justin Vernon’s deeply personal compositions recount a transformative chapter in his life\, bringing a sense of raw authenticity to the stage.    \nClosing the program is a revival of Nova Linea’s audience favorite\, “Love Is A Game.” Choreographed by Jared Baker to the music of Adele\, this moving piece reflects on the profound effects of divorce and heartache. Told through the perspective of a woman\, it explores her escape from a toxic relationship\, the ripple effects on her son\, and her journey toward healing and self-discovery.   \nSponsored by: Nick and Rebecca Greene  \nView their video for the 24/25 season here: Nova Linea Contemporary Dance 2024/2025! \nThis event is presented by an independent organization separate from the Marcus Performing Arts Center.
