In Dandelions, dancers and singers move through the space together as the piece unfolds, navigating and retracing pathways between one another. Dandelions explores holding on, and letting go - to ourselves, to each other, to things we hold dear - and the uncertainty that accompanies a moment of release. The dance spans various contemporary movement modalities including butoh and dance theater, inspired by the abstract poem-prose of Gertrude Stein’s Tender Buttons and the poignant heartbreak of James Baldwin's novel, Giovanni's Room. Through the metaphor of a dandelion’s bloom and decay, Dandelions describes a recurring dream about love, routine, and change. The piece’s music is reflective of the fragility of its themes. Quivering voices are counterposed with deep silences and fragile consonances that seem ready to dissipate as soon as they appear. As the piece progresses, the intimate horror of time’s passing is reflected in a looping structure that finally snaps viscerally forward. This presentation of Dandelions has been supported by a 2025 DCLA Premier Grant from Staten Island Arts, with public funding from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. 

Join us for pre-performance refreshments beginning at 1 PM. The performance starts at 2 PM and will be followed by a brief Q & A with the artists.
