About this Event
Entry Points will feature three world premieres by an exceptional group of guest choreographers: Faith Balderrama, Hannah Garner, and FLOCK’s Alice Klock and Florian Lochner. Each choreographer brings a distinct perspective and movement language to the stage, with each new work offering an entry point into a different world.
The program will also feature a refreshed restaging of VIM VIGOR’s KAIROS (2024). Known for its athleticism and energy, the work has been reimagined through RESILIENCE’s collaboration with VIM VIGOR's rehearsal director Katherine Kiessling, bringing new life and momentum to the piece.
Lastly, we are thrilled to present an adapted excerpt of Cassie Wang's The Head is Not the Star of the Body - a poignant full-length work developed over two years in residencies at Boston Center for the Arts and Jacob's Pillow. RDC fans may remember Cassie's work from Entry Points 2022.
Together, these pieces will create a dynamic and engaging evening of dance, highlighting RDC's strengths at the intersection of experimental and virtuosic in contemporary modern dance.
