Saturday
Clap your hands, stomp your feet, and join the celebration on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021, as Performa/Dance returns to the live performance stage with special musical guests, Greenlawn Rangers, in BLUEGRASS JUNCTION, a heartfelt intersection of music and dance. Award-winning choreographer Jennifer Hart invites you to explore an important piece of Americana and a time when live music and dance brought communities together to celebrate the human experience and the important phases of life.
BLUEGRASS JUNCTION is about convening and strengthening our community bonds in times of happiness and sorrow. It is about the simple pleasures of music and movement, which when married lift the spirit and give us hope. This engaging dance work celebrates the deep love we have for family, friends, intimate partners, and life itself. BLUEGRASS JUNCTION explores the cycle of life and emphasizes joy in a time when so many have experienced pain, isolation, and loneliness. Through our darkest moments, we seek comfort in art; I created BLUEGRASS JUNCTION to acknowledge the real-world tribulations and transformations our community has faced in recent months.
