Dance Lovers 5

James Graham Dance Theatre presents

DANCE LOVERS.......an evening of duets by real-life couples, crushes, and comrades

James Graham, Artistic Director of James Graham Dance Theatre, presents and curates the 5th annual Dance Lovers this Valentine's Day Weekend at the Joe Goode Annex.

DANCE LOVERS will feature new work by:

W. Kamau Bell & Melissa Hudson Bell,
Patrick Barnes & Rowan Turner,
Eric Garcia & Wiley Strasser,
Raphael Boumalia & Molly Allen,
Morgan True & Tao,
Michael Galloway & Vincent Chavez, and
Melissa Lewis & Christina Busler.

DANCE LOVERS pairs real-life couples, crushes, and comrades together in duets that look at their relationships in their chosen style of dance and performance...incorporating modern, parkour, ballet, improvisation, spoken word, and comedy. Dance Lovers provides a unique environment for many of these couples to perform together for the first timeeven though they may both be professional performers. This year we have a touching intergenerational duet, a comedian and dancer-academic married couple, boyfriends (who dance for Robert Moses, DTSF, Hope Mohr), Queer Activists, and an energetic weightlifting parkour couple. James Graham (and Sebastian Grubb) will be showing an excerpt of his recent evening length duet "Homeroom." Join us to celebrate and enjoy on this Valentine's Day Weekend.
