HALF CENTURY DANCE
Half Century Dance features dancers over 50 years old which celebrates mature artistry, challenging perceptions of aging.
Although we age and may move differently, we still express emotional depth, which only grows with experience.
The dancers have previously performed on Broadway, on national tours and with major dance companies.
The choreography "Between Us" is a dance about connection and our complex relationships.
It’s the literal space between us and also about emotional intimacy. Dancers display a balance of solitude and togetherness.
Directed and choreographed by Melanie Futorian
with guest choreographer, Anita Havel for "Tinder"
