INDIVIDUAL DATES & TIMES*

Additional time info:

Artistic Co-Director, Tracie Jensen will premiere the full length work titled, “America”. This submersive character piece is an intimate portrait of the female experience in the United States and how those roles in society have been shaped by men, religion, politics and the American dream.

Artistic Co-Director, Marisa Callaway will be presenting, Virtuosi. "A Woman's Honor or Virtue" is a euphemism for virginity.

Artistic Co-Director, Joanna Des Marteau, will present, Who Am I Now? A solo danced by Jordan Wilson to “Nocturn No. 7” by VNV Nation. This solo is a reflection of where many of us are in the current time asking ourselves the question.

“Reverie” by Bobbi Foudree, Guest Choreographer, focuses on memories and the overall ephemeral nature of life.

Guest choreographer, Hunter Jones’ piece, N’Flux is about encountering your lowest low whether it be an event, a feeling, or an emotion and your choice within the fight/flight response that kicks in.

In “The Aftermath” by Kyle Mullins, we find seven women moments after an unknown, and seemingly horrific, event has occurred. In the minutes that follow, we see these women deal with the event (and the role they played within it) through fear, distrust, and paranoia.
Guest choreographer, Crystal Robbins, “Dusk” premiered at Open Stage at the J on March 1, 2020. It is a piece about loss using the imagery of sunsets.

A special guest performance by the Youth Dance Theater will present their set-for-stage piece from the site project, National Water Dance- ”Dancing Out of Time'', under the direction of Persi Mey.
