Week 2: April 24-April 26—Inlet Dance Theatre
In Response

Colorful magic realism collides with contemporary dance theatre as Inlet responds to art, societal division, envy, bureaucracy, and the numerous responsibilities vying for our attention. The company will share an exciting work in progress and premiere a new work alongside its transportive, athletic, and imaginative repertory. inletdance.org<http://www.inletdance.org/>

Week 3: May 1-May 3—Blakk Jakk Dance Collective
Rhythms of Heritage

Experience the ancestral connections and similarities of Gumboot dance in South Africa and Stepping by Black fraternities and sororities in America. Blakk Jakk Dance Collective LLC (@blakkjakkdance) • Instagram photos and videos<https://www.instagram.com/blakkjakkdance/>
Week 4— May 8-10—Ajayi Dance
Again and Again and
Premiering three new works in addition to stage adaptations of the 2022 site-specific work Place in Time: There|Then (originally set at Hale Farm and Village), this evening will feature more than 20 local artists, original music by Luke Rinderknecht, and live performance by the Nightingales A Cappella Choir. Audiences can expect a visceral journey of reflection, a reckoning of personal and collective responsibility, and a celebration of resilience utilizing joy as resistance in Ajayi Dance's first ever full evening of work performed in a traditional stage setting.

Week 5— May 15-17 DOUBLE BILL!—Christina Lindhout & Blissed Out Human Collective
Common Threads
