SUMMARY:chitra.MOVES
DESCRIPTION:Image Description: A group of six dancers from chitra.MOVES are captured in a moment of dynamic tension and connection against a vibrant\, sunset-hued backdrop.

Rooted in themes of relationships\, community\, and the power of institution\, chitra.MOVES utilizes immersive storytelling and multidisciplinary elements to create meaningful connection and transformation within her audiences. \nchitra.MOVES is thrilled to bring Village Stories to our homebase\, Dance Place. \nVillage Stories is an evolving dance work exploring how we activate our tapestries of care in times of turbulence and transformation. Bringing together the movement traditions of Bharatanatyam\, folk\, and hip hop culture\, the work asks: how do communities step in to protect one another\, and how do we find strength in shared rhythms and stories? Audiences are invited to reflect on their own circles of care — and how to activate and sustain them. \n					\n									PURCHASE TICKETS

SUMMARY:Ceremonials
DESCRIPTION:Image Description: A man with a tattoo on his arm tilts his head back in a dramatic\, low-light setting featuring a single overhead light source. \nPhoto Credit: Elyse Mertz \nBrendan Drake/Ceremonials\nJuly 10 & 11 at 7pm \nChoreographer and Interdisciplinary artist Brendan Drake makes their Dance Place Debut with Ceremonials\, presented by DC Dance Network and co-presented with Dance Place. Please note that this performance is for an 18+ audience and community members.  \nDrawing inspiration from Catholic iconography and Gay Porn\, Ceremonials is an hour-long performance work exploring the not-so-subtle similarities between Christianity and eroticism. \nThe work connects 14th-century Christian mystic Julian of Norwich’s text Revelations of Divine Love with images of contemporary queer smut to consider how sorrow and ecstasy are such strange but familiar bedfellows. Ceremonials is a utopic fever dream that lives somewhere between passion play and an elegiac orgy. \nA bacchanalian parade of images\, complete with fallen angels\, messianic delusions\, beautiful boyx drenched in holy water\, and Mother Mary herself. It is a raucous meditation on pleasure\, pain\, and surrender as well as a call for hope\, despite the horrors. \nSorrow is the content\, ecstasy is the form. \nBrendan DrakeWebsiteInstagram DC Dance NetworkWebsiteInstagram \nThis work was commissioned in part by the 2026 DC Dance Network Choreographer Commission. \n\nPIURCHASE TICKETS\n \nWant to explore Brendan’s work fully?
