NEW! Voice of Dance

Celebrating unique individual voices and finding harmony in collaboration, DanceWorks Chicago is dedicated to creating an environment conducive to nurturing experiences of significance for everyone from artist to audience.

DWC Artistic Director Julie Nakagawa leads opportunities to engage with dance and dancers through a diverse offering of movement and music in each presentation. With an emphasis on finding and sharing one's voice, the six young professional dancers of DanceWorks Chicago interpret a diverse repertoire with their highly personal approach to each dance. The breadth of the works presented will showcase multiple movement vocabularies and styles through which choreographers express themselves. Furthermore, the layer of the human voice in the soundscape accompanying the dance, whether as simple breath, as an instrumentalist (as in a beatboxer), as a vocalist, or as a voice-over artist, will expose audiences to another layer of artistic expression able to be articulated by the human body.

Each presentation will encourage multiple points of connection with dance and the art of self-expression as well as include a chance for conversation with the dancers. DanceWorks Chicago will energize and inspire everyBODY.
