The dance, entitled "Bright Land" features a quintet of dancers and explores the cyclical nature of human experience with piercing, powerful choreography and fiery, soulful live music. Premiering in its entirety at New York's Joyce Theatre in August, the collaboration tackles the emotional undertakings-kinship, belief, suffering, love-that shape us in our lifetimes and repeat in cycles through the ages. www.kateweare.com

Our May residency at ODC with Kate Weare and Company was just an amazing experience all around, culminating in a raucous showing at SF's Noe Valley Ministry on May 22.
