Tare

March 20-21, 2026

Lighting design & technical direction: Glen Norris

From the director of SLOWBURN (excerpt):
Tare is our first program that includes choreography from all company members. We have been moving together for years, and this program offers a chance to explore individual perspectives within our own absorbed kinesthetic language. You will see distinct solo choice making at times, and a shared understanding of choreographic preferences at others. You will see a desire for balance, and a desire to even out the scale and start over. If you wish, I invite you to “tare” your own mind in between each piece, perhaps closing your eyes and resetting before the next one.
