Program II: Bridges NOT Walls

Dance NOW! Miami presents Program II featuring Bridges NOT Walls. This politically charged Ballet speaks to the pressures we face as humans seeking uniqueness and definition but also membership to community despite radical shifts, including political upheaval, racism, war climate tragedy, personal identity and the consequences of economic distress. Bridges urges us to find common ground, celebrate our differences and our common humanity. Bridges premiered in 2017, and has been performed in the US, Mexico, and Italy.

The evening will also include the world premiere of Baumgarten’s 1933, a cautionary tale set in the rising tide of Facism, Strings of Goodbye, Salterini’s poetic and powerful duet from 2009, and West Coast choreographer Tandy Beal’s Forest Dreams, as part of DNM’s Masterpiece in Motion Series reconstructing historic works from he 20th century.
