With support from the California Arts Council, INVERTIGO DANCE THEATRE will create a multidisciplinary dance performance, Kitchen Table Connections, which uses storytelling through movement as an inquiry into the kitchen table as a symbol, ritual, and cultural space, through which artists, and communities can transform their experiences of structural injustices.
Invertigo’s core programming is focused on offering dance theatre as a catalyst for racial equity and public engagement with and between communities that are systemically marginalized and less resourced. All programs activate dance as a transformational mode of storytelling and community-building as part of a movement practice. Invertigo pursues its mission through its professional dance repertory and production company, and a series of community engagement programs, including Dancing Through Parkinson’s. In 2018, Invertigo was awarded the National Dance Project Production Award – one of the highest national honors in dance – for its new dance production, FORMULAE & FAIRY TALES, hailed as “dance theatre at its finest” by the LA Dance Chronicle and declared “a breakthrough show” by the LA Times.
