Photo Flash: Invertigo Dance Theatre's AFTER IT HAPPENED
By: Ashlee Latimer Oct. 14, 2016
Invertigo Dance Theatre will perform After It Happened, a breath-taking work of magical realism set in the aftermath of a natural disaster as a community rebuilds itself, at Santa Barbara's New Vic Theater (33 W. Victoria Street, Santa Barbara, CA, 93101) on Saturday, October 22 and Sunday, October 23.
After It Happened exhibits Invertigo's virtuosic dancing delivered with the company's signature and stunning athletic physicality, complimented by live music, vivid elements of theatre, spoken dialogue, and puppetry. The piece is a testament to the human capacity to create light, song, and re-growth when foundations and structure are swept away. Invertigo Dance Theatre is a Los Angeles-based company founded in 2007, the company was recently awarded a Bloomberg Philanthropies' Arts Innovation and Management (AIM) program grant.
