Created by longtime dancer and choreographer Sharon Cooper, in cooperation with Asheville Contemporary Dance Theatre, Motown Memories “promises to be a wonderful and incredibly fun evening of beautiful dancing, colorful costumes and amazing music that will have the audience dancing in their seats and reminiscing about their own memories to the unforgettable songs of Motown.” The production was inspired by Cooper’s childhood years, during which family road trips, holidays and other gatherings were always accompanied by music from the soulful, Detroit-born genre. Her ode to those days was well-received when it premiered locally in April, so Cooper and ACDT are presenting the work once again. Round two unfolds at BeBe Theatre on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 14 and 15, at 8 p.m. $18/$15 students and seniors. acdt.org. Photo by A Bird in the Clouds Film and Photography Services
