Choreographers: Noelle Andressen (Rubans Rouges Dance Company) Description: "Coeur de Verre" A duet that shows an attempt to trust again once that trust has been betrayed. Special Guest Dancer: Albertossy Espinoza

Dancers: Orlando Agawin, Audrey Cain, Michelle-Marie Gilkeson, Anna Lamonica, Angel McLendon, Bridget Murano, Irene Vallar, Iman Zoe Notes: "There Was a Sailboat, and Still I Sank" explores the uneasy shift from childhood's confident hopefulness to adulthood's complicated and unfulfilled expectations.

Direction by Stephen Kelly Performers: Hylla Fischer, Misa Kelly, Chris Rahlwes Musicians: Marcia Sherman, Chris Rahlwes Music: and suddenly, I woke up! by Stephen Kelly in collaboration with the performers. Notes: For 18 years I have been searching for someone to break down a lovely improvisation captured on video that was inspired by a dream of manatees swimming under the ocean. I asked myself, if I had one dance left to make, what would that dance be. The answer was, I'd break down the improvisation and have my beloved direct the work.

Dancers: Adrianna Audoma, Aneiki Randolph, Audrey Crabtree, Baja Poindexter, Bernadette Sebastian, Imani White, Jasmin Williams, Keverlie Herron, LaRaia Gribble Notes: This piece was catalyzed by the convergence of divine, wonderful, and bittersweet shifts in my relationships, career, and life.

Dancers: Noelle Andressen, Carol Butler, Danielle Drake, Omaira Galarza, Jessica Mayorga, Amani Minter, Corey McCullough Notes: dehumanization and a testing of the indomitable human spirit that refuses to conform. Individuality and a lone voice finds a way to survive, there is HOPE.
