Ariel Rivka Dance presents Rust and Unorthodox
Rust is about the beauty of aging- the embarrassment, humor, and ultimate acceptance of physical, emotional, and internal changes.
Unorthodox, inspired by the drive and tradition of Klezmer music, juxtaposes raw realness with the polite version of ourselves we portray to the world.
