"Perhaps if we can start by looking at opposition differently and always with a sense of ‘evolution’, we could take away its dominance on us. That no matter what happens, after we wipe our tears and attend to our wounds, we vow to turn it into something better and beautiful. Perhaps in doing so, we would feel less victimized, less angry and less afraid.”

REBIRTH is about the cyclical nature of life. The constant discovery and re-discovery, about ourselves and about each other. A piece about hope, resilience and re-discovery - even when we find ourselves in sudden and unexpected challenges.  A piece about finding peace in opposition.   

This dance work is being choreographed and will be performed by a group of young contemporary artists who have all the same dance language in heritage: one created by the modern dance pioneer Martha Graham who opened the pathway into self-discovery, into connecting emotion into motion. The Graham artists will use the same physical sources and in-depth discoveries to speak to this time, their time, and develop their own voice forged in the rich history of modern dance that is to be re-discovered and to be born to the instant.

“Every thing that you love, you will eventually lose, but in the end, love will return in a different form.” ~ Kafka and The Doll
