The first piece, Move It, is drawn with a large group of community dancers and the second, Dusk, is a series of movement studies created with professional dancers.

The human body wants to dance. Move it celebrates this by connecting a multi-generational group of people who come together and re-imagine their bodies in space.

Dusk is the beginning of darkness in the evening. This is the beginning of a full length work based on experiences surrounding declining light, physical transition and the memory of what was in relation to the reality of what is.

June 7-11 from 10-12pm
June 14-18 from 10-12pm
FREE
