OUTDOOR PERFORMANCES APRIL 3RD & 4TH

I am excited to present 4 of my works this weekend at Warmer Days Ahead in Brooklyn. This show is curated by LEMI Collective, and I am honored to be on the program with 3 other New York choreographers. There is very limited seating to stay socially distant, but if you act fast you might be able to snag a seat or get on the waitlist. This show can also be viewed on Instagram Live via @leminyc . Each show is at 7:30pm Eastern Time, and my choreography will be first on the program.

Reserve your seats for April 3rd & 4th

The Emperor's New Clothes
Las Nuevas Ropas Del Emperador
Narrated in English and Spanish
Narrado en inglés y espanñol

In this modern reimagining of the classic tale, an attention-seeking emperor obsessed with fashion hears a rumor about a fabric so magnificent it hides in plain sight–only people who are truly smart and powerful can see it.

En esta reinvención moderna del cuento clásico, un emperador que busca atención y está obsesionado con la moda oye un rumor sobre una tela tan magnífica que se esconde en simple vista: solo las personas que son realmente inteligentes y poderosas pueden verlo.

Meet The Dancers April 6th

I am hosting a Zoom event for Spark Movement Collective! Join us on Tuesday, April 6, 2021, 5-6pm EST, and learn the choreography from our latest show, The Emperor's New Clothes.

During this virtual event, you'll also have a chance to hear directly from members of Spark Movement Collective, learn what it's like to be a dancer, what inspires them, and find out all about their favorite moves. What's more, you'll have a chance to ask whatever you like!

This event is FREE and great for children of all ages, but those aged 5-13 might enjoy it most.

Thank you for continued support! March flew by with many exciting opportunities! I presented an evening of dance at Arts On Site with live music which was an absolute blast. My film Frame was also chosen for the Boulder Ballet Film Festival. I hope to see you virtually or in person soon! Stay safe and be well!

Much Love,
Michelle
