Jang Huddle presents a community-led contemporary dance show exploring themes such as family, intergenerational dynamics and empowering the inner child.
I Don't Wanna Dance Alone (혼자 춤추고 싶지 않아) is about how everyone can dance. The work celebrates the joy of movement and connection through all ages, featuring an all-Asian cast of 12 people from diverse dance backgrounds.
Created and directed by Cindy Jang-Barlow and choreographed with the performers to an original soundtrack by Rewind Fields, this fresh rendition of the show evokes a sense of belonging, nostalgia and the fun in shared movement.
Audience participation is welcomed, but optional!
Post-show Artist Talk: Sunday 17 March 4:30PM
