Dear Suzy by Taylor Rodman
This sextet for three men and three women, inspired by Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom, tells a story of innocence and child-like honesty. By combining image-based movement and focused, yet playful curiosity, this piece will leave audiences feeling light-hearted and nostalgic.
The Road is a Gray Tape by Emily Jerant-Hendrickson
Featuring a quartet of dancers moving through the dynamic shifts of Max Richter’s music, this work focuses on repetition and shifts of weight.
Through the Motions by Key'Aira Lockett
A dramatic and exciting example of the different highs and lows of life, this work explores the rules and guidelines that still exist within freedom. It asks: what is freedom? Why do we sometimes feel stuck when we have been declared free? How far are you willing to go to be free? Is freedom possible? Or is it just an idea?
According to Us by Dorrie Silver
This collaborative work among her five dancers and composer Roland Spreckley draws from the dancer’s personal experiences to shed light on the pivotal life moments all experience.
A new work by Styles Speights
Inspired by the ancient Egyptians’ use of language as a metaphor for higher realms of communication, this work explores how much metaphorical value exists in a single word.
