This brand-new show will spotlight our very own dancers, shining a light on their personal and family lineages, histories, and communities. The headline piece, Armenian Voices, is inspired by Michelle’s own upbringing, featuring texts and music from Armenian writers and musicians, including Michelle’s cousin, musician and composer, Sevana Tchakerian. Spark dancers Melissa Galano, Daniel Morimoto, Caleb Patterson, Jen Silver, and Angelica Mondol Viaña, are also creating work for Stories Uplifted, alongside guest choreographer, Kar’mel Small.
