Carmina Burana
In 1997, Jamey Hampton and Ashley Roland choreographed “Carmina Burana” for the Portland Opera. “It’s a hit!” proclaimed The Oregonian at the premiere, and audiences across the country have overwhelmingly agreed since. At once classic and contemporary, “Roland and Hampton have choreographed this Carmina Burana in a freewheeling, multidisciplinary style that serves as a hymn to impulsive, uninhibited creative expression” (The Los Angeles Times). Collaborating with renowned opera director Chris Mattagliano, Carmina was the work that brought BodyVox together as Hampton, Roland and several of the dancers in the production formed the company shortly after the premiere.
