THE EVENTS
Virtual performances coming November 2020
Spark creates accessible dance works, and this virtual experience will allow audiences to watch The Events on film, from home! This experience will combine dance and music on screen with a large array of collaborators.
Part I
Three works by guest choreographers: JoJo Boykins, Dolly Sfeir, and Matt Dittes
Part II
"The events that took place," a longer work by Artistic Director Michelle Thompson Ulerich
All of the works in The Events connect to themes around events and shifts in our lives. There are events that change us forever. The chain reactions that occur after these events inform all of our future interactions and relationships. "The events that took place" will dive into different episodes of life and peer into these moments of change. In some cases these occurrences create wounds in the fabric of our lives. The discovery and healing that takes place after momentous events helps to shine light into those dark places.
This performance will be appropriate for all audiences, but best enjoyed by those ages 10 and up. Approximate run time is 35 minutes.
Get a sneak peak behind the scenes via Facebook Live in October!
