BODYSONNET presents Blue Hour, an evening of contemporary dance.
August 10 & 11 at 7 PM
The performance features a mixed bill of new works created and performed by four women artists exploring themes of intimacy, aloneness, and evolution as both individual and collective. The four vignettes, created and performed by Mio Ishikawa (Japan), Moscelyne ParkeHarrison (USA), Sayer Mansfield (USA) and Sydney McManus (CA), weave emotional depth, internal conflict, and shared cultural phenomena. Blue Hour leads both performers and audience on a bold, vulnerable and beautiful odyssey.
