AMOC PRESENTS Very Good Dance Theatre: with what we have left
August 3 | Doors 7pm | Show 7:30pm | $15
this piece is an unscripted solo show, in collaboration with the audience.
"with what we have left" is an exploration of how we can communicate with, and connect to, those around us even when we do not have all the resources to do so easily, effectively, or entirely.
an embodied practice of (mis)communication and (mis)understanding. an attempt at being seen, being heard, being known. a very good time.
ABOUT THE ARTIST COMPANY
Very Good Dance Theatre is a queer led, BIPOC centered, collaborative collective of artists that play with the ideas of what is dance, what is theatre, and what is "good". We work collaboratively, devising movement and text with each other, to create work somewhere in-between the scope of dance, theatre, and performance art to explore, experiment with, and expand what performance can be and do, while questioning what gives it value and why.
Very Good Dance Theatre was founded by Colby Calhoun in the summer of 2018, appearing on stage for the very first time at FIT Underground with Elephant Antonyms. Since 2018 Very Good Dance Theatre has returned to FIT twice, was selected to participate in AT&T PAC’s 2020/21 Elevator Project Season, was chosen amongst the first cohort of Artists In Residence at Arts Mission Oak Cliff in 2021, and has been selected as a Cannonball 2023 BIPOC New Work Track recipient. Very Good Dance Theatre continues to make work as an independent theatre group through festivals, residencies, and other opportunities like this.
