Threat to Democracy

This multidisciplinary collaborative dance performance will unite spoken-word artists and dance choreographers to confront the urgent challenges facing democracy. Through raw, evocative movement and powerful spoken narratives, this showcase will examine issues like voter rights, misinformation, disinformation, systemic inequalities, and the fragility of democratic ideals. In a time when civil liberties and collective voices are increasingly under threat, 'Threat to Democracy' will serve as a reflection of resilience, sparking dialogue and inspiring hope for a more equitable and inclusive future. Ten choreographers collaborating with ten literary artists, will each present dance works between 5 and 7 minutes. Featured literary works include poetry, prose and monologues. Featured dance choreographers practice contemporary, modern, jazz and south Asian dance styles.
