Acclaimed choreographer Dana Tai Soon Burgess returns to the Dorothy Betts Marvin Theatre at George Washington University, where he launched his dance company 20 years ago. This repertoire program will include four dances that highlight Burgess' individualistic style and energy, followed by a panel discussion with the choreographer and the designers and dancers he works with. Burgess has been called the "Poet Laureate of Washington Dance" and this performance presents an excellent opportunity to celebrate his legacy, his impact and his future role in dance.
