Please arrive early to purchase a standing-room ticket. \n \n \n \n For our debut show\, we explore our namesake in 3 one-act works\, led by three different DC-based choreographers\, featuring dancers from within our company: the Effervescence Collective. The goal is to capture the concept of collective effervescence in 3 vastly different ways\, by featuring 3 works that explore community and connection in 3 different capacities – by seeing community among humans with each other\, community/harmony within the ever-developing versions of oneself\, and community in nature.  As we explore our namesake in this debut show\, our collaboration with dancers will develop 3 different works exploring common themes of community\, connection\, and collective effervescence. In creating from an honest and trusting space\, the audience will witness pure humanity\, vulnerability\, and care on stage. In bringing such human emotions and experiences to movement\, we look forward to creating an accessible show where the audience will feel moved as they challenge their own beliefs of what community is and how to build authentic connections.  This work is supported by the Dance Place Co-Presentation Series.  Take class with Effervescence Collective!
