ABOUT THE PIECE

Everyone moves. Anyone can dance.

UNSET2.0’s team of dancers, musicians, and designers craft an evening of improvised compositions inspired by the audience. Whether you watch from the audience or move on the stage, you play an important part. We invite you to experience dance that brings your senses to life! Come as you are. Your authentic movement is the common language we speak.

UNSET2.0 explores the possibilities of interactive dance through co-created dances inspired by an audience participant in the role of "prima dancer.” UNSET 2.0 empowers participating individuals through their own expressive movement and expands the definition of “dance” and who a “dancer” is. It aims to inspire more individuals to see themselves as dancers, regardless of training.
