MIGHTY DANCES IN A small SPACE

After its sold-out run last August, MIGHTY DANCES IN A small SPACE returns to VideoCabaret with a powerful new double bill from choreographers Peggy Baker and Jera Wolfe: since then and NEW WORK.

Location

This intimate performance features striking duets for dancers Jacqueline Ethier & Sarah Hopkin and Miyeko Ferguson & Jera Wolfe – some of the most  compelling performers of the current generation.

With lighting design by Gabriel Cropley, and the audience up close, every detail is revealed – every moment felt.

since then arose out of the retrospect of age. I have insights now that I wish I could share with my younger self. There are conversations about love, sexuality, loss, and old age that I would dearly love to have had with my late mother. There are truths about my life that I have rarely confided and need to find the courage to share and discuss. I offer this dance as an invitation for conversations among women. PB
