Follow your bliss when the Everett Company performs at Keshet Center for the Arts on Saturday, Jan. 27, and Sunday, Jan. 28.
The Providence, Rhode Island-based dance company will perform 鈥淏liss Body鈥� and 鈥淧arables from Prison.鈥�
鈥淏liss Body鈥� collages dance, imagery and true stories exploring the experience of bliss. The provocative piece incorporates quiet meditation and energetic dancing, asking how we find bliss in today鈥檚 world. The interactive performance features dance, rap, poetry and more. It invites the audience to contemplate the concept of bliss through the lens of Black experiences in America.
鈥淧arables from Prison鈥� is a collection of stories focusing on imprisoned youth, recognizing some of the milestones they face navigating the prison system and searching for their place in a punishing society. These stories have resulted in a series of six short films.
The company has been creating, performing, teaching and building community through the arts since 1986. Encompassing a stage and school, its ensemble of dance and theater artists create, perform, teach and mentor new generations of artists within a diverse community. Guided by principles of collaboration and experimentation, Everett explores complex social issues through a combination of theater, dance, music and video.
