An Intergenerational, Multi-Media, Dance/Theater Performance
Co-created by eight artists and a cast of 40, the show is an amazing and truly astonishing blend of movement and theatre. It is a fun, colorful, lively and sacred mix of beautiful video footage, eccentric costumes with wild hats, live improvisational music with Jesse Manno, humorous poetic prose and rhyme, the beautiful, healing, surround sound from a choir of women’s voices, and a set installation that will transform the Old Main Theater into a glittering cave of possibility.
Narrated by a comical “street prophet” and her trusty sidekick, the world of “I Knew That Once” will weave together the stories of the dancers and explore ways of expressing and connecting in contemporary times. The show reminds us that that creating the world we want is not an illusion, but completely possible.
The cast includes folks of all ages, folks with varied mental and physical challenges, folks who have never performed before, and folks who are professional actors and dancers all mixed together in a seamless intersection of life and art, authenticity and professionalism.
The show will travel to five cities over the next two and a half years.
