In the first-ever collaboration with Grammy-award winner André Allen Anjos (RAC), the performance includes three new works created by Company dancers Katherine Monogue, Makino Hayashi, and Peter Franc. These new works, along with Helen Simoneau’s Departures will be performed in the intimate BodyVox Dance Center where the seats are even closer to the action than in any other OBT performance venue…
