Evidence of Damage
Company:
Lawton Dance Collective
Lawton Dance Collective, a women-led contemporary dance company directed by Julia Lawton, brings the poetry of Adrienne Rich to life through a new work titled Evidence of Damage, October 24 - 25, 2026 at Dixon Place. Inspired by Rich’s collection Diving Into the Wreck, the choreography explores identity, memory, power, resistance, and the process of finding a way to move through the world together.
“This work asks us to consider the personal and political,” Artistic Director Julia Lawton said of Evidence of Damage, “and especially, how we can take care of each other through the wreckage in our own personal lives and in the world at large.”
Lawton Dance Collective was founded in 2024 and maintains a focus on the development and presentation of new choreography through research-driven creative investigation. Evidence of Damage is the company’s third evening-length premiere.
