•DANCE NATION•

👯🕺🏿👯‍♀️💃👯‍♂️

Hello! We have been working hard on this production, and you ALL are invited. 😊 be sure to read the content advisory ❤️❤️❤️Opening night has moved to NOV 12! Whoohoo!!!
Show runs November 12 - 21, 2021
Shasta Hall, Playwrights' Theatre
By Clare Barron
Directed by Nicole C. Limón

Choreography by Megan Brunsvold Mercedes

Finalist, 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Drama
Winner, 2017 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize

Somewhere in America, an army of pre-teen competitive dancers plots to take over the world. And if their new routine is good enough, they’ll claw their way to the top at Nationals. A play about ambition, growing up, and finding yourself without losing yourself, Dance Nation is an unrelenting exploration of female power featuring a diverse cast of actors of all ages, shapes, sizes and souls portraying our adolescent dance team.

Amina is the star dancer, Zuzu is always second best. They are great friends, and fierce competitors. With a devoted group of teammates who support each other, moms who try to understand them but probably don’t, and a coach who pushes them, these pre-teens both, recognize the divine feminine power they hold, and grapple with their impending journey into womanhood and societal constructs that work to erase their magic.

Dance Nation Content Advisory: DANCE NATION contains mature content including the use of strong language, reference to sex/sexuality, self-harm, and menstruation.

Love of my life. Do you feel the breeze on your gentle cheeks? The reflection of deep blue in your eyes. Do you hear the song of the busy birds? Grounded in shade and dirt. Do you imagine treading water? Fluttering eyelashes, blinking. Whatever it is that you are doing, forever I’ll be doing the same with you. Smiling to love and life everyday. i l o v e y o u ❤️
