Emerging Artists returns with their one-of-a-kind festival. Visit the theater any evening during this three-week event, and you'll find yourself transported in a number of surprising ways: by a single performer embodying a whole host of characters; by a non-traditional piece that challenges and delights; by a cozy two-person show exploring relationships; or perhaps by a bouncy new musical that has you humming. Emerging Artists has always been about new works, new talents, new voices. That's never been more evident than now.
THE SHOWS
Friday, October 4 at 7 pm
"STRICKEN"
Shannon Stowe
New Dance Theatre is a movement-based theatre company committed to utilizing a wide variety of expressive forms to investigate the human experiences that transcend spoken language the points at which the pedestrian and the profound collide. Our first piece "Stricken" uses Edna St. Vincent Millay's Sonnet II as inspiration. "Stricken" explodes and explores the moment when a relationship is all and nothing at the same time and what it means to carry on, living with the ghost of the experience.
