Detroit Metropolitan Dance


	Opening the season, HERE becomes a powerful statement of arrival. Originally postponed from the previous season, the production now takes on deeper meaning as Detroit Metropolitan Dance’s first performance at its new home theatre, The Schaap Center for Performing Arts in Grosse Pointe, MI. The program includes Ongaeshi: The Debt of Feathers by Yoshito Sakuraba, a visually evocative contemporary work inspired by the Japanese folktale, The Grateful Crane. Through compelling movement and theatrical imagery, the work explores sacrifice, gratitude, and the consequences of promises made and broken. HERE will also feature the premiere of a new work by Artistic Director, Stephanie Pizzo set to an original score composed by Madeline Merwin and performed with a full orchestra. Completing the program is Pizzo’s work State of Mind, performed in collaboration with dance students from Western Michigan University. The partnership reflects Detroit Met Dance’s commitment to connecting professional artists with the next generation of dancers and creating meaningful performance opportunities for emerging talent. -- Schaap Center for the Performing Arts 15001 East Jefferson Avenue, Grosse Pointe Park, MI 48230	Buy Tickets
	Our season continues with SIGNAL, a program exploring the physical and emotional forces that move between people—what is expressed, what remains unspoken, and how individuals search for connection in an increasingly complex world. The program will feature audience favorite, I Am Not Myself, by internationally-acclaimed choreographer, Maxine Doyle. Originally commissioned as part of the company’s 35th-anniversary celebration, the work brings Doyle’s visceral theatricality and dynamic movement language to Detroit Met Dance’s artists. Also featured, Stephanie Pizzo’s Architecture of Silence investigates the spaces where emotion is contained and composure is expected. The work reflects the quiet weight of restraint and the endurance required to sustain it. It invites reflection on the invisible architecture that shapes human experience. -- Schaap Center for the Performing Arts 15001 East Jefferson Avenue, Grosse Pointe Park, MI 48230	Buy Tickets
