Women on the Move

Women’s voices take center stage to showcase the diversity of their life experiences and perspectives. Dancers traverse space and time through moving portraits, intimate relationships, and collective dances of solidarity and celebration, revealing women’s stories in the fullness of their complexity. Social issues come to the fore to highlight the impacts of domestic abuse, political repression, and oppressive beauty standards while celebrating the resilience of women who find the strength to overcome adversity.
