In celebration of the program's tenth anniversary, Threads Dance Project presents Tapestries 10.0 - Anniversary Edition. The Tapestries program has become an annual tradition—amplifying new choreographic voices, with a special emphasis on female-identifying and BIPOC creators. To honor this milestone, Tapestries 10.0 not only elevates two new emerging choreographers but welcomes back two previous creators from the program’s ten-year run.
Emerging choreographers Lily Conforti and Brianna Johnson have each created new works for the company. Lily Conforti’s piece, Big MILK, is an exploration into and criticism of the US government's inability to make systemic changes and the ineffective ways that they have thrown cheese at a problem. Brianna Johnson’s, Deliberate Hold, is a contemporary modern dance work exploring the profound resilience found in the intentional choice to be present and actively practice connection and care.
Returning choreographer, Gabby Abrams will remount her piece, Release, after being interrupted by the pandemic—revisitingthe work with new eyes and new bodies. Rae Fox-Charles, a multi-year Tapestries alumni, will share a new work, entitled, Tracings of Traces, which considers the lingering patterns of attachment and dysfunction throughout an imagined figure’s romantic history.
