Come ready to sizzle! Devoted to the creation and presentation of contemporary dance by Latino choreographers, Luna Negra Dance Theater is an amazing blend of contrasts: serious and funny, passionate and serene, adventurous and subtle. The company’s distinctive style blends ballet and modern dance techniques, strongly flavored by Latino and Afro-Caribbean dance forms. Luna Negra collaborates with Latino artists of other disciplines, including visual, media artists, musicians and composers resulting in richly textured and highly original dance theater.
Pre-performance discussions: To enhance patrons' understanding of Luna Negra Dance Theater's performances, a pre-show discussion is presented by Luna Negra's Artistic Director Eduardo Vilaro and by Amy Dowling, Dance Instructor on the Stage and Screen faculty at Western Carolina University, in The Forum at Pack Place at 7:00 p.m. prior to the performances. Free for ticket holders. Concessions will open early to allow patrons to have a snack and drink before the performances.
Presented in Partnership with:
The performance of There is a Time, choreography by José Limón, is made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts’ American Masterpieces: Dance Initiative, administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts.
