DANCE NATION

DANCE NATION is a gift. It explores what it’s like to be young and what it’s like remembering being young. It highlights the joys and the challenges of being an artist. It uncovers the pressure and expectations that surround training in a creative field. It celebrates being a friend and a team mate. It goes to the depths of what is inside of every young human, and every human who isn’t in a position of social power, and the potential they could uncover if they were.

Every single person who collaborated on this show is a gift. They know about these expectations and these challenges. They are all exceptional artists, who through team work, HARD work and resilience, are uncovering their power and potential through every aspect of this production. The industry that they are about to join is exceptionally lucky.
