BIGKID DANCE

February 6 & 7 at 7pm

BIGKID DANCE, directed by Mark Caserta, presents If I Die Before the Revolution, an evening-length contemporary dance theater work. This piece acts as a fantastical farewell for queer individuals facing a collapsing world. It portrays a unique queer experience through fear, love, loneliness, death, and legacies. As time runs out, the ‘queer’ archetype confronts invisibility while fighting for their existence. This work honors and celebrates queer life in the face of overwhelming challenges. Interested in learning more about BIGKID DANCE’S Process? Join Artistic Director, Mark Caserta on Saturday, February 7 from 1-2:30pm for an Open/Play Community Movement Workshop. Dance Place is proud to host the premiere of If I Die Before the Revolution, which is funded by the ArtsCONNECT grant from Mid Atlantic Arts as well as the Carla Perlo Fund for Choreography & Performance, established by the Howard and Geraldine Polinger Family Foundation in 2017 to honor the career of Dance Place Founding Director Emerita Carla Perlo. The Carla Perlo Fund for Choreography & Performance is intended to support the creation of new dance works and residencies at Dance Place. The Howard and Geraldine Polinger Family Foundation’s support ensures Dance Place’s continued ability to nurture outstanding artists and advance the field of dance.
