JULY
Danceworks Get It Out There
Live Performance Saturday, July 30th at 8pm (Ticketed Performance)
Catey Ott Dance Collective will perform Pressures and Pulls can Alone Control the Whole at Danceworks Studio Theatre, 1661 N . Water St., Milwaukee.
Four superhumans are determined to move their way through today's challenges within a fantastical world. Pressures of time, travel, and endless juggles tug as the swirling pulls to balance life with consciousness, conscientiousness, and high demands mount. Loneliness and isolation then lead to a separation of self and society as the ongoing struggles to be in this together in a very fragmented world grows more difficult. Evaluating loyalty, integrity and independence is necessary while managing expanding responsibilities and differing belief systems. 4 solos describe these circumstances and then unite in a brief but impactful finale. Super Humans assemble to envision change and hope for the world.
