TRIPLE FEATURE
The Visitors
by Leslie Dworkin & Kent De Spain
The Visitors is a new poignant and playful dance theater piece, co-choreographed by Leslie Dworkin and Kent De Spain. Two strangers appear uninvited in an empty home to explore a world filled with mystery and nostalgia. Are these figures refugees? Are they haunted by their past? Are they explorers on the cusp of a new world? At times humorous, impactful, and inspired by the plight of the refugee, this duet explores the ramifications of embracing one's outsider status.
Bipolar Badass
by Mari Crawford
Bipolar Badass is a one woman show about the humor behind struggling with the illness. In between car crashes and apathetic psychiatrists lies an absurd perspective of “this thing called life.” From an initial diagnosis to family history to manic escapades to somewhat figuring it all out, we see the layers and ridiculousness of an illness that is misunderstood.
Inside Amanda
by Amanda Levesque and Idelle Packer
This interactive dance piece with audience participation features Amanda Levesque and other NC dancers exploring the theme of inwardness expressed outwardly. Choreographic and improvisational elements thread through the performance piece, accompanied by live music.
