Bryan Arias’ The Broken Glass premiered during SFDanceworks’ 6th season (2023).  Delving into themes of resilience, fragility, and redemption, The Broken Glass offers audiences a profound exploration of the human condition. Through contemporary dance styles and abstract narratives, personal stories of family and roots are intricately woven. From the vibrant rhythms of Arias’ Puerto Rican heritage to the poignant journey of overcoming illness, each narrative thread adds depth and richness to the tapestry of the work.

Following the work, Dana Genshaft(SFDanceworks), Chloë L. Zimberg (ODC), and Bryan Arias will engage in a moderated discussion by Julie Phelps (CounterPulse) addressing how this extension of The Broken Glass showcases the power of partnership.
