A talkback with participating choreographers will follow each performance, offering audiences an opportunity to engage directly with the artists about the themes explored in the program.
Clark Center NYC (www.clarkcenternyc.org) and American Dance Guild (www.americandanceguild.org), join forces for the first time to present The Politics of Movement: When Dance Speaks Out, a two-night performance exploring protest, resistance, identity, and social justice through the visceral language of dance. This performance marks the organizations’ first joint presentation, uniting legacy institutions in a shared call for artistic and social engagement.
Bringing together eight companies and choreographers whose work spans generations, aesthetics, and cultural lineages, the program examines how dance has long served as both witness and catalyst.
