>> ADDITIONAL PROGRAM INFORMATION

Four powerhouse works. One unforgettable evening. 

This eclectic program showcases BODYTRAFFIC’s dazzling versatility with four distinct pieces that celebrate bold style, storytelling, and movement. The works include a newly announced world premiere by BODYTRAFFIC Creative Partner Trey McIntyre for four dancers set to the music of Sam Cooke.

Flyland by David Middendorp is a heart-tugging duet blending animation, projection, and choreography to stunning effect. Cayetano Soto’s Schachmatt (Checkmate!) turns a giant chessboard into a theatrical playground, drawing inspiration from Pedro Almodóvar’s cinematic flair and Bob Fosse’s choreographic swagger. Plus, Jordyn Santiago’s Coalescence, vibrant, affirming love letter to femininity, queerness, and community.
