ABOUT THE SHOW
Crafted in 2018 and consisting of 9 episodic dances that seamlessly blend humor and reality, this work uses themes ripped from the headlines to satirize the Trump Administration and invites audiences to confront the contradictions of modern political discourse, tear down the walls that divide our country, and reject the normalization of nonsense.
Met with glowing reviews and standing ovations, FOR WHICH IT STANDS made its world premiere at the Center for Performance Research in Brooklyn in 2018, toured to St. Louis for five performances, and was featured in Time Out New York, Brokelyn Magazine, and the Dance Enthusiast.
