Daniel Gwirtzman Dance Company
Kicking off its third decade of inventive programming, DGDC presents the premiere of “Fantasyland”, an imaginative view of the world where perfected beauty, euphoria, and magical charm reign supreme. An antidote to the division which cleaves this Dis-United States, and channeling the gay spirit of Pride, Fantasyland views humanity through pink-colored lenses, presenting utopian portraits of harmonious relationships and optimistically-fantastic scenarios. Reviewing the Company’s 20th Anniversary season in 2019 OnStageBlog.com writes: “Provocative, whimsical, and ethereal, the Daniel Gwirtzman Dance Company defies expectations of postmodern dance and soars, unafraid to take risks and dazzle with unflinching honesty. What is remarkable about the company is the ability to breathe and connect with each other in simple gestures as much as grand displays of technical prowess.”
Pioneers Go East Collective
LUCKY STAR is a dance-theatre performance by Pioneers Go East Collective. Borrowing drag fabulousness from vaudeville acts to celebrate otherness, LUCKY STAR balances theatricality with collective celebration and thought-provoking LGBTQ stories, to encourage dialogue in a safe and joyous space. Reflecting on personal heartfelt stories from our collective, the work is a multifaceted experience conceived by Pioneers Go East Collective’s lead artists – storyteller and burlesque artist Daniel Diaz, shape-shifting femme queer choreographer, Beth Graczyk, queer writer and director Gian Marco LoForte, and the Bessie-winning designer Philip Treviño.
