MOTION Dance Theatre, the brainchild of WNC-born choreographer Nick Kepley (currently ballet master at Ballet Austin), offers a three week residency to professional dancers and choreographers which culminates in two performances (July 11 and 12) at Diana Wortham Theatre.
In advance of that, “Doors Open” is a sneak-peek into the dancers and choreographers at work. Kepley suggests that those who are interested pack a lunch and spend the noon hour observing a working rehearsal and asking questions of the artists. The public is invited into the studio “to experience dance-making up close and personal.”
Sessions are held on Fridays, June 27 and July 4, noon-1 p.m. Limited seating. To reserve a space, email motiondtmarketing@gmail.com or call 917-627-9345.
