@ Zellerbach Playhouse, 101 Zellerbach Hall, UC Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of UC Berkeley’s dance program, Berkeley Dance Project 2019: "the body remembers" will feature works by four professional choreographers and one promising student choreographer.
The works in BDP 2019 represent a wide range of sources and styles: Joe Goode incorporates spoken word and song into a piece based on the buddhist concept of “the undefended heart;” Rulan Tangen brings attention to local indigenous histories and perspectives; Latanya Tigner honors choreographer Ruth Beckford, recognized as the mother of African diasporic dance; and Cherie Hill draws from supernatural elements of her Jamaican Maroon ancestry.
