Experience the ultimate dance-sampler of what’s new and bold. Eight rising Philly choreographers have been commissioned to stage eight major new works for the Festival. Come see their creations in four separate programs: Megan Mazarick and Meg Foley (Program A), Olive Prince and Shavon Norris (Program B), Daniele Strawmyre and Jaamil Olawale Kosoko ( Program C), Jumatatu Poe and Eun Jung Choi (Program D). Program D features Unstuck by Jumatatu Poe (idiosynCrazy productions) and All My Socks Have Holes by Eun Jung Choi (Da•Da•Dance Project) . Unstuck:5 Sparked by a question Poe posed to his college students, “What if there were only this moment . . . forever?” Unstuck explores our ideas of mortality and legacy. In a modern metropolitan landscape, this urban psychological fable takes on the world of the Millennial generation through intricate layers of movement and text. In a world where an instant stretches into infinity, we reveal our true natures. All My Socks Have Holes: Glimpse into the memories of two people who have spent their formative years in separate homelands. Their fragmented stories unravel, starting with holes found on the woman's socks and her homeland's myth that a long second toe means your mother will outlive your father. Combining video and movement, All My Socks Have Holes takes you into a bizarre and delirious world of memory and its breakdown.
