Dance and Resilience

Dance company del Rio is researching on the concept of a dance-theatre performance series with a curated program on the overarching theme of inner growth.

The format includes regular performances that, similar to TED Talks, focus on conveying specific ideas on a particular topic. For each «talk,» performance artists, a choreographer, and an invited expert collaborate.

The current project consists of the first public sharing of ideas and choreographies resulting from the artistic research. The theme: Resilience.

5 dancers, 1 choreographer, and 1 expert/speaker work together to bring the various facets of this topic to the stage artistically.

and what lies before us
are tiny matters compared to
what lies within us.»
