Led by Artistic Director Carolyn Dorfman, the company will explore the human experience through dance, addressing themes of community, connection, and cultural narratives, drawing on her Jewish heritage. One of the dances to be performed is "WAVES," praised by critic Robert Johnson for its "ingenious ensemble sections." It will include students from a workshop that the company will conduct with JSDD earlier in the week. Other dances include excerpts from "The Legacy Project," "Keystone," "Living Room Music," and "Love Suite Love."
