We won two
@tellyawards !
This past year we created ‘Stories of Queer Love in Dance’, in collaboration with The Bushnell, Director Ryan Glista
@ryanglista , Producer and Choreographer Carolyn Paine, and Choreographers Lyrik Cruz II, Garet Wierdsma, Stacey Michelle and Dani Bobbi Lee.
The vision was to bring diverse styles of dance together with stories from different corners of the LGBTQ+ community into a public art display. And the choreographers delivered incredible, personal work inspired by their own lives... from closeted exploration in hip hop, to passionate polyamory in contemporary ballet, to agonizing conflict in modern dance. When you step back, all the screens share an energy in the various interpretations of the music. And it has been thrilling to see this piece move beyond the digital format... to pride events, dance festivals and more to come.
Choreographer Lyrik Cruz said this work is powerful because it is about love. To which Director Glista said, “To imagine I was afraid to simply hold my partner’s hand in public not many years ago... I hope the next young Ryan is watching.
We do too.
