Moving Parts
Co-Presented by Dusk Dances & DanceWorks
Choreographer & Director: Denise Fujiwara
We find the world in difficult times with people becoming increasingly polarized. Fujiwara is curious about how to embrace complexity and conflict with skill and grace, and how to stay open and kind in the midst of tumult.
To be in harmony means to be in amity and peace. With Moving Parts, we are investigating these questions in three-part harmony, with a choir of moving singers.
