Dance Performance | Four Dancers. Sculptural Objects. One Unforgettable Performance


Bow Echo, created by Bessie Award-winning choreographer Anna Sperber, is a work for four dancers, who move as both individuals and ensemble, continually shaping and reshaping the space between them. Oversized sculptural elements--including flags, bells, and panels of marley--become extensions of the choreography, generating sound and forming striking visual architectures. Set in an open-air environment, Bow Echo expands beyond the stage, merging body, object, and atmosphere into a living field of resonance--where movement becomes structure, and structure becomes echo.

Dance Performance | Tiger Hands: Authentic Personal Expression through Dance with Warrior Elements of Peking Opera on the Plaza


Choreographer Benjamin Akio Kimitch dreams beyond the mantra of East-meets-West with this dance work that honors his late mother, a dancer. He has welcomed a group of creative collaborators into his cosmic, sunrise-colored search for authentic personal expression, using warrior elements of Peking opera as a transformative source of beauty and strength—restaged for an outdoor experience. The work features music by Clarie M Singer and costumes by Carlos Soto; performed by Pareena Lim, Julie McMillan Castellano, and Lai Yi Ohlsen.
