"Most impressive ... a major force in Chicago dance ... impeccable ... exhilarating work ... richly dramatic dancing." —WTTW

Deeply Rooted Dance Theater
Deeply Rooted Dance Theater blends tradition and the unexpected
Deeply Rooted Dance Theater makes its Cincinnati premiere, presented by Mutual Dance Theatre. Hailed as a "major force" in the dance nexus of Chicago, and described as richly dramatic, riveting, and culturally resonant, Deeply Rooted's 16-member company commands the stage.The historied company (established in 1996) blends classical, modern, American, and African American traditions to tell stories that are at once thrilling and thoughtful.
A rare chance to see one of the country’s rising dance companies, our presentation of Deeply Rooted Dance Theater opens Mutual Dance Theater's Embrace: A Season of Connection.
The company will be performing several works including Sacred Spaces, an ensemble work drawing from the inner sanctum where strength, clarity, and resilience are born. The piece explores quiet reflection as an act of resistance and renewal. Dynamic and introspective, Sacred Spaces call us to witness the power of vulnerability, presence, and the sacred act of staying open.
