# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Dance: ON SECOND THOUGHT
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Location: Jenny Belzberg Theatre

Choreographer Bret Easterling and Los Angeles-based company BEMOVING unite for a mesmerizing evening of dance. The piece’s title evokes the improvisation at the core of the group’s process: in ON SECOND THOUGHT, each dancer creates movement from their second impulse. These second thoughts form a shared vocabulary that reflects how queer individuals navigate instinct, hesitation, and self-awareness.

The presentation is the second of two performances in the First Looks series, culminating this summer’s Dance Production Residency. After three weeks of development, experimentation, and technical fine-tuning, a pair of unique pieces will meet audiences, capping off the participants’ creative journey.

It’s a rare chance to see the next great dance show before they hit international stages—don't miss yours.
