More about the performance >>

In the performance *Blue Moon Spring*, three dancers embark on a personal journey, listening to and moving to jazz music. They approach jazz as a philosophy rather than merely a genre. Dance becomes an ongoing conversation. The performers use agreed-upon frameworks as a springboard for movements, deviations, and wild ideas. They practice opening themselves up to the unique vibrations of each moment and create an improvised dance that we explore together with them.

The show’s musical selection reflects certain qualities of jazz, such as care, playfulness, friction, in-between-ness, sensuality, and celebration. As existing music interacts with music written specifically for the show, the performance intertwines history into a contemporary, complex web of sounds.

Every performance is unique: the dancers practice maintaining vulnerability and passion through improvisational frameworks, dance together with their differences, harmonize mastery and intuition, and dream big.
