[DANCE/PERFORMANCE]

Anima Dance and Common Ground Theatre Present: My Patriot Act by Rachel Brooker

My Patriot Act is US-born choreographer Rachel Brooker's latest installment in an ongoing conversation with her homeland, both the actual physical and political entity and the intangible country carried within.

My Patriot Act is a new work premiering this November. It is direct, personal, and close to the bone. Movement, sound and video amplify and antagonize each other, forming an eloquent expression of anger, resistance and love. Here, the personal is political, the political is the material of daily life, and the rubble remaining after social change can be the graveyard of the possible, or the source of all that comes after.

November 20 & 21 at 8:00 p.m.

Ticket Price: $12- General, $10- Students & Seniors
