Between End and New Beginning

At the center is David Dawson's award-winning classic The Grey Area, which explores an elusive state between departure and standstill. Flowing movement phrases, musical sensitivity, and a strong sense of space characterize this choreography. The work opens a dance world where dynamics and timelessness flow into each other, and the audience's mood thickens with each sequence.

Bridget Breiner and Lesley Telford Create Strong Contrasts

Bridget Breiner's creation Shards focuses on the unfinished and the subtle echoes between closeness and distance. Lesley Telford's Threshold of a Fall complements the evening with a look at fragile systems and the moment when stability tips. Thus, a high-quality dance program emerges with clear dramatic tension, strong target audience appeal, and impressive artistic signature.
