Swerve: a sudden change of direction
The UpClose Series. Dance as an art progresses through innovations and changes of direction both sudden and gradual. UpClose with Damian Woetzel features dramatic “swerves” in the history of dance as shown through the works that have led dance forward. Hosted by Festival Artistic Director Damian Woetzel, the program features Festival stars in rehearsal and performance mode as they take on groundbreaking choreography from across centuries in dance styles from ballet and modern dance to tap and ballroom.
Casting and repertory are subject to change.
