Pre-teen competitive dancers plot to take over the world

In Clare Barron’s ferocious exploration of ambition and friendship these young dancers have more than pliés and jetés on their minds. With every step, they catapult towards finding themselves and unleashing their power. The winner of the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, Dance Nation is a blazingly original theatrical experience.

Insider bonus: VocalEye describer and accomplished actor, Eileen Barrett, will be performing onstage in this production! This performance will be described by Stacie Steadman with the assistance of contemporary dancer and dance describer, Andrea Cownden.

“…conjures the passionate ambivalence of early adolescence with such being-there sharpness and poignancy that you’re not sure whether to cringe, cry or roar with happiness.” -The New York Times
