Join us for Voice, an evening of dance that shifts the spotlight from the choreographer to the artists who embody the work. The focus moves from who created the steps to who inhabits them—elevating the dancers as the true voice of the performance.
Two works, carefully restored through our Archives Research Program, will be performed as part of our ongoing commitment to keep and preserve pieces that face video deterioration. From the Heart, a 1989 work, is an ode to female friendship and celebrates connection, resilience, and shared experience.
The company presents Afromations which centers its African American dancers in a celebration of self-love, identity, and history proving that group cohesion also has merit and power through individuality. Spencer Powell primieres his newest work, Oil! inspired by Upton Sinclair’s 1927 novel.
Together, Voice celebrates MPD dancers’ power, artistry, and range, offering a compelling reflection of the company’s dynamic presence.
