Event

AGEN

Natalie Johnson Dance presents their original evening-length quartet, AGEN, in an intimate studio production.

An evocative, playful, and vulnerable performance of four dancers supporting and witnessing each other's struggles and triumphs.

"Agen" from Middle English, is the root word for own, against, and anew.

Within one word is the capacity to express owning, battling against, and healing to become
anew. In AGEN, we share with you the experience of taking ownership of a personal burden and revealing our conflict against it. The inherent connection between intimacy, pain, and mending illustrated in this word is what inspired our dance, and led us on a journey to seek our own renewal.

Dancers: Rachel Bobek, Lea D'Arminio, Eliza Malecki, Jessy Zizzo
Choreography: Natalie Johnson

NOTE: All attendees will receive a **complimentary** private dance lesson at Fred Astaire Dance Studio!!
