Story Time deconstructs fairy tales and myths, focusing on one’s heroic journey through life. The Center at West Park, a landmarked church full of character, is the perfect setting for vivid dance revealing intricate narratives.

The cast of five intrepid dancers bring to life archetypal characters whose journeys overlap: the benign, the haughty, messengers, helpers, conjurers, phantoms, bullies, and tricksters

Performers: Mariah Anton, Andi Farley-Shimota, Michael Greenberg, Nyah Malone, Caleb Patterson

Composers: Tine Kindermann, Grace Bergere, Ellen Reid,  Maurice Ravel, Žibuoklė Martinaitytė, Frank London
