'Rare Beauties'
DJD Company Performance
Rare Beauties is a highly theatrical dance piece exploring extreme emotional states and transformation. The piece is danced to a score featuring a multitude of jazz music from various eras. Created in collaboration with Hannah Fisher (costumes) and Steve Isom (lights) the piece uses costume and light to morph and sculpt the space, themes, and dancers throughout the work. Danced by the DJD company, rare beauties themselves, choreographed and directed by DJD Artistic Director Kimberley Cooper, this new piece is part of One Yellow Rabbit’s High Performance Rodeo and promises to be physical, groove-driven, moody, strange, and of course, beautiful.
The first 20 registrants to sign up for a two-day pass will receive a ticket as part of their package.
