The Dulling Effect is a bold performance, conceived and choreographed by former Dance Place Executive Artistic Director Christopher K. Morgan. It challenges the audience to consider the ways in which technology, legislation, and societal norms can dull our sense of connection to one another and to ourselves. At the same time, it offers a vision of what can happen when we resist those forces—when we embrace diversity, celebrate individuality, and reclaim our right to express our true selves.

On Friday, May 30 at 6 PM, join Dance Place for an informal showing The Dulling Effect, followed by a reception.

Dance Place is proud to partner with Griot Sylvia Soumah and Carla Creative in supporting Coyaba’s Village Celebration, which will take place from June 2–7, 2025 at both Dance Place and Joe’s Movement Emporium in Mount Rainier, MD.

Everyone I (N)Ever Loved is an exploration of the duality between queer joy and loneliness and how they truly are two sides of the same coin. Told through intimate vignettes of the dancers on stage these themes will be investigated and explored, through movement, spoken word, light and sound. This work is supported by the Dance Place Co-Presentation Series.

Heart Stück Bernie’s newest creation, Wolver Maroon is a feminine howl at the blood moon. From intimate solo reflections to a vibrant ensemble of 30, the performance delves into themes of caretaking, loss, and the exquisite intensity of existence. Featuring visionary art direction by Ben Furgal and electrifying music by Dan Deacon, the stage comes alive with unexpected props and surprises, including a first aid kit for existential questions that holds us all accountable for day on the other side of night. This presentation is supported by the Carla Fund for Choreography and Performance, established by the Howard and Geraldine Polinger Family Foundation.
