Split Bill: 2nd Best Dance Company + connectivetissuedance

May 10-11 | 8pm | $0-$40

Agora Artists' premier Split Bill presents 2nd Best Dance Company (New York) and connectivetissuedance (Dallas) in an intimate evening of physical storytelling.

About the work:

RED

This hour-long work walks the fuzzy, shag-carpet line between dance performance and narrative play, leaning into both text and movement to tell an abstracted version of a well known fictional story of survival: Little Red Riding Hood. By cycling through distinct characters, either true to the original story or entirely new, 2nd Best Dance Company will explore how we confront the many-faced “big bads” that lurk on our personal wooded paths. In RED (choreographed, written, and directed by Hannah Garner), four performers brave the unknown by way of spectacle, sentimentality, glamour, mortality, and answering the phone."

collecting who we’ve been, sharing what we are

This piece incorporates memories of movement, discussions, and past relations between us. Experimentation of how we can let our collection of memories, past and present, influence our relationship and the physical within the work. Recollecting of where we have been together, where we are now, and how we have constantly been intertwined. connectivetissuedance will premiere this original duet with New York-based guest artist, Maggie Joy.

This concert is presented in collaboration w/ Arts Mission Oak Cliff.
