Night of DanceBands

Presenting a night of sound and movement; every moment and aspect is alive as creation is integrated with presence. DanceBands are groups wherein movers and sound makers are essential to each other. DanceBands perform experiences; they are artistic rituals that can transform space, expand time, and engender deep emotional response.

DanceBand events are structured to offer interconnection of performance and audience, strangers and neighbors. DanceBands invite community engagement with an egalitarian mission to share art with sliding scale tickets, and without front rows or VIP sections. This diverse group of artists will present works including live electronic and acoustic sound, poetics, Butoh, contemporary dance, and immersive dance theater that will spellbind and inspire audiences.
