Set in Hokkaido, Tokyo, and Hawaii, "Dance Dance Dance" leads us to open doors to other places. Represented by the warped, non-linear space-time of the Dolphin Hotel in Sapporo and an old multi-storied building in Downtown Honolulu, these other spaces contain the potential for personal healing by offering characters and audiences alike a chance to restore, rebuild, and rediscover a sense of self. Dancing becomes a metaphor for a fulfilling life. Having purpose, love, happiness is like a dance we know all the moves, we just have to keep on moving, keeping in step, not letting go of our dance partners, for as long as the music plays.

Post-show Q&A follows the FRI 1/27 performance.
