Seasons in the Sun
Among the Austin performing arts companies which have announced their seasons for 1997-98 is one with more than the usual reason to crow about the work it has in store: Sharir Dance Company is marking its 15th season in the coming year, and it's using the occasion to reflect on its accomplishments. The opening concert in mid-November will feature selected works, past and present, by company co-artistic director José Luis Bustamante. It hosts the Bagnolet International Choreographers' Gathering on December 9. In February, the company reprises one of its hit works of this past season, Court 6, Bustamante's site-specific dance staged in a UT racquetball court. The season concludes in May with a concert of selected works, past and present, by company founder and co-artistic director Yacov Sharir. For more info, call 458-8158.
