Alyssa Mitchel is pleased to announce the world premiere of Here. Now. This hour-length outdoor dance production is a partnership with the Exploratorium and a collaboration between Mitchel, her company of ten dancers and her creative team. This collaboration is a fusion of artistic styles by artists of diverse backgrounds. In an outdoor setting, the production brings the artists and the audience together as one collaborative community.

The work features ten dancers who’ll guide the audience through a dynamic meditative journey at the Exploratorium’s Buckyball and outdoor plaza. The performing artists include: Ismael Acosta, Ashley Burdick, Vincent Chavez, Jessica DeFranco, Sawako Gannon, Olivia Holston, Keith Makishima, Perez Perez, Jasper Sanchez and Fabiana Santiago. The creative team includes choreographer Alyssa Mitchel, composer, Julian Drucker and costume designer, Jamielyn Duggan.
