Genre: Contemporary ballet
Content consideration: Liberation from systemic oppression depicted through falling chains
TOMORROW, the grand finale of the trilogy WITNESS, is a celebration of liberation that aims to empower, educate and inspire change. Using customized trampolines, the piece plays with gravity to demonstrate the resilience of the African-American community.
Genres: Bharatanatyam, hip-hop and chhau
Content consideration: Voiceover explores bodily autonomy
Swords blends Bharatanatyam with hip-hop movement and footwork to examine power. The piece uses mudra storytelling to juxtapose the warrior strength of the Hindu goddess Ma Durga with the modern girl.
Genre: Modern
Metal Garden was last presented at the New Victory Theater in 2003! A reimagined rendition, this whimsical dance joyfully jaunts through a glittering garden inhabited by seven dancers who sparkle in the most unexpected ways.
