Moonwater Dance Project returns this June with their annual repertoire program, featuring two world premieres alongside two pieces of past repertoire. Moonwater VI will bring back one of our favorite pieces first created in 2019 for Moonwater II, Grisly Bare by Katie Carey. This intensely emotional piece explores the vulnerability and fight when a relationship seems to be ending. This program will also see the revival of Montage by Jessica Miller Tomlinson. Throughout the piece, the dancers are whipped around like leaves in the wind, jumping, turning, and partnering in this non-stop, exciting piece. Moonwater VI will premiere a solo set on original company member, Emily Brand, choreographed by Founder and Artistic Director, Mackenzie King. The final world premiere will be a collaboration between choreographers Noelle Kayser and Ching Ching Wong. 

Purchase a VIP ticket to have unlimited access to drinks and appetizers, as well as early admission into the theatre to pick your favorite seat!
