Linda Austin Dance is performing in two June Festivals, sharing a work-in-progress excerpt of her current project, “a world, a world.” In this excerpt, five dancers channel and splice moments of heterogeneous movement and text in a performative interrogation of a world saturated with image and language. They dance, hum, mutter, and mumble; deploy sandbags, a moveable stair unit, a microphone and headphones.Read more

April 28 & 29 ✧ Appalachian Spring Break
SCOTTY HERON & BRENDAN CONNELLY play with the iconic, confused and clichéd relationship of choreographer and composer, glancing sideways at Martha Graham and Aaron Copland’s only collaboration and its sepia toned Americana.
