Identity's Spring concert offers a captivating performance with two dissimilar works in its dynamic. Join us for the premiere of choreographer Ginny Ching-Yin Lo’s newest work Muted.
The program features the return of Enliven, premiered fall 2023, highlighting energy in motion. This East/West fusion dance work will also be performed at the Seattle International Dance Festival (SIDF) this summer. Identity received wonderful reviews from Buzz News and See Chicago Dance of Lo’s Enliven.
In contrast with Enliven, Muted explores the complexity of being muted, muting someone, and telepathic connection. This dance reflects a collective flashback of being muted and/or muting someone. A powerful piece, this asks us to consider how aggressive and passive outer facade may not reflect the real situation, as communication within relationships connect without a word.
This Spring concert offers two performances only, April 27 at 7:30pm and April 28 at 3pm, both at Visceral Dance Studio. Tickets are easy to book on Eventbrite; walk-ins may be available.
