The Road Awaits Us

The Road Awaits Us features two North American premieres and a beloved solo from Big Dance Theatre. The titular work, The Road Awaits Us (2016), by Annie-B Parson, was created originally for Sadler’s Wells Elixir Co in London. The dance is based loosely on an absurdist play by Ionesco, staged as a birthday party for a company of esteemed Dance Elders, including Bebe Miller, Meg Harper, Keith Sabado, Sheryl Sutton, George Faison, Black Eyed-Susan, and from the original cast: Betsy Gregory and Brian Bertscher.

Ballet Dance, a North American premiere, is a duet based on the imagery, the fundamental actions, and the materiality of ballet traditions from the 19th through the 21st century.
