Glitter bombs, paper airplanes, milk, OH MY! Ceremonials, choreographed by Brendan Drake and co-hosted by the DC Dance Network and Dance Place, was truly full of a mystical world of dance that I, personally, have never seen in DC.
I watched, intrigued, as children were given freedom rather than being encouraged to remain quietly in their seats. This opening act christened the space with a sense of curiosity and play that felt critical to the core of the work that followed.
Sweaty, sticky, and now a little out of breath, I walked into the theater to find dancers spread throughout the stage in a calculated manner, breaking in and out of unison material. I was immediately thrust into the world of SEAM SPLIT, created by guest artist slowdanger.
