PRIME: A Tribute to Returning Home
Company:
Dance Place
In continued celebration of Dance Place's milestone 45th season, PRIME stands as a luminous tribute to the visionary women who built the foundation upon which DMV dance thrives today. This special evening honors the pioneering Architects of DMV Dance—Carla Perlo, Deborah Riley, Mama Sylvia Soumah, and Carol Foster—whose creative ingenuity and unwavering tenacity forged new pathways for artists, youths, scholars, and community members to find their way home.
PRIME brings together contemporary artists who follow in these trailblazers' footsteps, creating an evening of tribute performances that celebrate not just individual achievements, but the collective impact of these four remarkable women. Through dance, we explore themes of home, heritage, and the profound connections that bind artistic communities across generations.
