Content Warning: DanceWorks is a presented series, which means we don’t always know the content entirely. CPT supports art in development, as well as social-justice-oriented work, and sensitive material may be explored. Because of the nature of art in development, we can’t provide additional content warnings for DanceWorks performances.
The James Levin Theatre is ADA compliant, featuring a ramped entrance and an all-gender, wheelchair-accessible restroom.
AJAYI DANCE
Again and Again and
Premiering three new works in addition to stage adaptations of the 2022 site-specific work Place in Time: There|Then (originally set at Hale Farm and Village), this evening will feature more than 20 local artists, original music by Luke Rinderknecht, and live performance by the Nightingales A Cappella Choir. Audiences can expect a visceral journey of reflection, a reckoning of personal and collective responsibility, and a celebration of resilience utilizing joy as resistance in Ajayi Dance’s first ever full evening of work performed in a traditional stage setting.
