JUNE 17 - 18, 2022 / Aronoff Center for Arts Jarson-Kaplan Theater
Mutual Dance Theatre in MODERN MIX
FOUR MODERN DANCE PREMIERES WITH CHOREOGRAPHY BY SIDRA BELL, VICTOR LEWIS, JR. OF PHILADANCO!, STEVEN P. EVANS, AND JASMINE SNELLEN
MODERN MIX
features a collection of world premieres by four different choreographers: Victor Lewis, Jr. (of Philadelphia’s PHILADANCO!), Sidra Bell (of Sidra Bell Dance New York, the first African American woman to have work performed by the New York City Ballet), and MDT’s Steven P. Evans and Jasmine Snellen of Mutual Dance Theatre. MDT’s season-closer promises variety, athletic prowess, virtuosic dancing, and compelling drama. Formerly known as MamLuft&Co. Dance, the acclaimed local company is undergoing a thrilling transformation as it amplifies its repertory through commissions and re-stagings by national artists. Mutual is proud to note that three out of four of these world premieres are by Black artists.
