Printz Dance Project: INK & BONE

November 4, 2021 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm

$25

The dance company returns to the stage with a re-envisioned world premiere 

A resurgence of energy springs forth from this inspired dance-theatre piece by the Printz Dance Project (PDP) called INK & BONE a Dancer’s Journal. In their highly anticipated return to the stage, their company invites you to share space with them at Joe Goode Annex to explore collective heartbreak, fortitude and the satisfaction in human tenacity. 

INK & BONE is a story-driven dance piece, fusing Stacey Printz’ famous contemporary-jazz choreography with her personal stories of chronic pain. Pre-pandemic, PDP received a residency through The Kennedy Center/The REACH to create this physical tale, but the forced isolation of quarantine informed a new version of the work. Changing the story to include fresh ideas and voices is a testament to the company’s persistent mission of unifying the human experience through association and optimism. There is a universe of emotion bubbling beneath the surface of every person. Told through the lens of Printz’s personal experiences, INK & BONE will guide you to connect with a community that struggles together. After enduring a year and a half of our own pain, both the audience and company are bound to share a common perspective and breathe a collective sigh of relief in that understanding.

Audiences will enjoy this text-rich dance piece written by Stacey Printz and enhanced by dramaturg, Michael John Garces, with visuals designed by Wolfgang Wachalovsky. Featuring guest actors, Alice Moore and Carlos Aguirre and company members – Jenni Bregman, Sadie Carhart, Kim Holt, Camille Henrot, Nhan Ho, Jadell Lee, Stacey Printz, Victor Talledos and Jorge Vazquez. The production is directed by Stacey Printz with assistant, Jenni Bregman. Supported in part by The Kennedy Center / The REACH, California Arts Grants.
