Dance Downtown

Presented by ODC/Dance |

March 29–April 2, 2023

ODC/Dance returns to the Blue Shield of California Theater at YBCA for Dance Downtown, March 29 – April 2, 2023. Delight in two programs of captivating works, including two world premieres: Collision, Collapse and a Coda by ODC Founder and Artistic Director Brenda Way and Witness by guest artist Amy Seiwert. The exhilarating lineup also includes Impulse, Dexandro Montalvo’s audacious quartet for four women, and two repertory favorites, Triangulating Euclid, a bracing three-way collaboration created by Brenda Way, KT Nelson, and Kate Weare in response to the restoration of the 1482 printing of Euclid’s “Elements of Geometry,” and Something About a Nightingale by Way, a whimsical delight, set to the enticing music of the Tin Hat Trio.

ODC/Dance

Founded in 1971 by Artistic Director Brenda Way, ODC/Dance was one of the first American companies to incorporate a post-modern sensibility (an appreciation for pedestrian movement) into a virtuosic contemporary dance technique and to commit major resources to interdisciplinary collaboration and musical commissions for the repertory.
