About this Event

Unbecoming: A Story Told in Form & Fashion

Red Nightfall Dance Theatre presents a world premiere production where runway fashion meets narrative dance — a theatrical experience blending live music, projection design, and spoken word into something entirely new.

Set in the round with audience on all sides, Unbecoming follows three figures through moments of transformation, seduction, and choice. Models emerge in striking original designs. Dancers embody their inner journeys. The stage itself becomes a living canvas.

Featuring fashion by Robby Durand of EmmaSis Designs, live piano and cello by Finn Dickens and SoJo Gonzales, choreography by Artistic Director Dorothy O'Shea Overbey in collaboration with the dancers, and guest choreography by Alexa Capareda.

Performance Dates:

  • Thursday, March 19 @ 7:30pm
  • Friday, March 20 @ 7:30pm
  • Saturday, March 21 @ 6:30pm & 8:30pm

Location: East Side Performing Arts 979 Springdale Rd, Austin, TX

What to Expect:

  • Approximately 60 minutes, no intermission
  • Intimate in-the-round seating
  • Open bar included

This is community-powered art. Every ticket supports local artists creating bold, boundary-crossing work in Austin.
