Free: Screen Dance Premiere & Fundraiser

Backhausdance presents a holiday gift to you with our new screen dance performance, grounded, choreographed and directed by artistic director Jennifer Backhaus.

Filmed entirely on location outdoors in our autumnal, coastal landscape of the Orange County Back Bay in Newport Beach, CA, this visually-captivating artistic experience enables you to follow along the trails and pathways with each of our ten dancers as they express and interpret their individual spaces through solos, moving in the splendor of different natural settings and being grounded in the textures of the earth, all in a single day.

This one-hour virtual presentation includes behind the scenes footage and post-performance, conversations with dancers.  Presented in close collaboration with Chris Emerick and Paragon Media. Music composed by Caroline Shaw in 2012 for cello and viola: Limestone and Felt.
This event is free to all; donations of any amount requested.
