Directed by Erika Chong Shuch

Created in Collaboration with the Performers

You’re invited to The After Party—a social event that flirts with performance… or a performance that flirts with a social event? Co-hosted by seven ensemble members, this gathering dances in the space between celebration and grief as we navigate the necessity and impossibility of our togetherness. Guests should be ready to throw their hands up in joy and despair!
