Zorongo Flamenco Dance Theatre - The Conference of the Birds Feb 10 & 11, 2024
A virtuosic dialogue between three distinct cultural voices. In an enchanting performance brought to the stage, flamenco and hip hop unite to adapt the 12th century Persian poem of the same name.

Crash Dance Productions - Domino March 2 & 3, 2024
It’s only a matter of time before they all fall down, one by one. Growing tension stacks onto high drama as the visceral ensemble blindly selects who among them undertakes the role of The Con. When identities collide, the 13 unique personalities clash as a story of hierarchy, vulnerability, and influence develops in real-time. Anyone could be the villain. No one knows who it will be. And every performance will be different.

Their collaboration will culminate in an evening of performance, which includes ARENA repertory favorite, Judged House, and the premiere of a haunting new solo by Will.
