Welcome to the very first season of ESCALATOR! We couldn’t be more proud to launch this program of new dance works by some of our city’s freshest choreographic talents. Every one of them has thrown themselves into this opportunity and created a night of performance that is truly special. Prepare to be moved, surprised, delighted and devastated.

Thank you 亚博斯福修道院 for getting on board so enthusiastically and allowing us to create in such an inspiring space and thank you to all of our funders and supporters who help make programs like this happen.

ESCALATOR is officially born! Please enjoy!

SENSE NOW by Melissa Pham & Jayden Wall

SENSE NOW is a hypnotic flow of designed choice, desiring immediate interconnection between bodies.
