IN/BEtween, a collaborative dance experience by Shana Simmons & Naina Roy

IN/BEtween, a collaborative dance experience by Shana Simmons & Naina Roy

Presented by Shana Simmons Dance at Attack Theatre

Friday & Saturday, December 2/3, 8pm performances
Pittsburgh, PA

Two dance artists explore and compare each other's art forms through research, discussion, and studio time together, highlighting similarities and differences between the styles, histories, and methods of teaching. Audiences can expect to see driving live music, both traditional modern and Kathak dance works as well as a fusion of styles in this 1-hour long journey.

The production will feature both collaborators as well as Shana Simmons Dance company collaborators and Naina Roy Kathak company dancers in a non-stop journey. Their creative vision will take the audience through an experiential night of rhythm, story, live music, and dance. Focusing on the negative spaces and microbeats in Kathak’s traditional rhythmic patterns, the duo will expand this focus making connections to how dance is getting passed down generationally and how this might be changing into the future. What does it feel like to sit in the in-between space of forms, personal growth, and moments in time?

It is the duo’s goal to both entertain and educate audiences about the art forms while potentially creating something entirely new. IN/BEtween hopes to tap into the emotion of where we are in the dance timeline, hovering between the old traditions which are being lost to technology and the new generations of dancers’ creative ideas. This full length production is sure to be an ebb and flow of emotion, passion, technique, and artistry.

This production is supported by the Heinz Small Arts Initiative.
