TO THANK OUR VOLUNTEERS:

We are sending a special thank you out to all of the volunteers that have helped build Kinetics into the thriving non-profit arts organization it is today. In recognition of such service, we extend an invitation to all volunteers of the organization, past and present, to claim a complimentary ticket at the ticket link above to attend the show as a guest.

ABOUT THE WORK:

BODY will unveil a collection of compelling new work and returning repertory. Chasm, a new work by Artistic Director Lauren Tait, takes a hard look at division, real and perceived. The company is honored to present Baroque Business, by guest choreographer Rick Southerland, Associate Professor at Goucher College and President of the National Dance Education Organization. Tait will also debut Until Then, a sinuous and emotionally charged duet. Kinetics Dance Theatre alum and current Board member Jennifer Dorsey returns to the stage, dancing in her quartet, Mom:me. A poignant portrayal of motherhood, the piece peeks into a world where surprise and bursts of joy vie with repetition and tedium, and where caretaking of self and others fuse. Tait's Slant, a playfully dark movement satire about bias and sensationalism also returns. Finally, the Kinetics Apprentice Company, newly under the direction of Franki Graham, will join the program with a new work, Cascade.

A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR

Whether you are already a part of Kinetics, have been in the past, or are brand new to us, I welcome you to share in our celebration and enjoy an evening of bold and evocative performance. I very much look forward to seeing you at BODY! — Lauren Tait, Executive/Artistic Director
