TheCo ( The Dance Company )

32/30

Inspired by Romeo & Juliet's feuding families, 3230 reflects how we as a society sometimes have

difficulty coming to terms with our differences and how that can prevent us from living peacefully with each other. Inspired by a classic story of rivalry, it definitely resonates with current issues, actual

turbulent times, chaos and societal division. The literal title of this work, 3230 represents how the story starts with 32 individuals and ends with 30, with the deaths of Tybalt and Mercutio, but beyond that it shows us how violence and societal clash has hurt us all as a community.

Tec Dance Company, aka TheCo, is renowned university Tec de Monterrey’s dance company. TheCo is a high performance dance program that trains dancers in different genres

Erika Gilmore

Everybody Lost Somebody 

The inevitability of losing one's we love in life is unbearable to imagine, let alone to go through. An experience, however, that at it’s core is a truly unifying one. 'Everybody Lost Somebody' is a story of that loss and how to figure out how to 'find your way back  home' in a world that has changed forever. Choreographer Erika Gilmore, explores the idea of acceptance and learning how to live again after loss through movement with the dancers of the Steps on Broadway Conservatory.

Spark Movement Collective

The Separation

Since its inception in 2009, Spark Movement Collective has flourished into a force on the independent and contemporary dance scene with Artistic Director and Founder Chelsea Koenig at the helm. Spark's mission is to create an accessible dance experience for audience members, dancers, and choreographers alike. In April 2020, Spark brought on Michelle Thompson Ulerich as their new Artistic Director.

Spark captures the discrete elements of dance to deliver performances composed of athletic yet fluid choreography and a brand of signature honesty intrinsic in the execution of pieces.  This approach is bound together with a narrative that results in fresh, innovative, and meaningful pieces that uniquely connect with both audience members and the community at large. Michelle quickly pivoted Spark’s stage performances that typically occur at The Actors Fund in Brooklyn to a series of films with a large array of collaborators. The piece for Dumbo Dance Festival is 1 of 9 films created in Fall 2020. This piece, called “The Separation”, was part of the larger work that explored events in life that shift us.
