Presented in collaboration with Bates Dance Festival

Prized for dexterity, musicality and performance instincts, Doug Varone and Dancers is recognized as one of America’s leading dance companies. The evening opens with the company’s triumphant work, Lux, and concludes with Chapters from a Broken Novel, a new work co-commissioned by Ovations along with Bates Dance Festival. Created from a collection of hundreds of phrases, snippets of conversations, found quotes and vivid images gathered together in the pages of Varone’s journal — these “chapters” revel in a multiplicity of meanings that live between the lines. From the smallest gesture to full-throttle bursts of movement, Varone’s work can literally take your breath away.
