Beneath the Surface: Dances from Within

Join us for an unforgettable evening where joy, vulnerability, and human connection come to life through six captivating performances.

Headlining the evening is the world premiere of Artistic Director Regina Klenjoski’s newest creation, Nest, a poignant reflection on the grace of letting go. Through this intimate work, Klenjoski contemplates the natural process of release, capturing the delicate balance between vulnerability and resilience as we navigate life’s inevitable transitions.

Adding dynamic contrast to the program is Mix ‘N Mingle, an abstract and energetic piece by guest choreographer Kia S. Smith, hailed as one of Dance Magazine’s Top 25 to Watch. Smith, Artistic Director of Chicago’s South Chicago Dance Theatre, brings her signature fast-paced, expressive movements to the stage, set to familiar music that highlights the dancer’s exceptional technique and artistry as they bring the choreography to life.

The concert also features several returning favorites, including Rank of Angels, an exploration of the nine celestial orders in angelology, and Silhouettes, an beautiful duet performed by dancers Rhiannon Vieyra and Aviance Battles that delves into the enduring bonds of friendship. Rounding out the evening are In this Moment, a celebration of the sheer joy of movement, and a new solo work by Klenjoski that embodies delicacy and lightness, revealing the hidden and unseen beauty that lies just beneath the surface.

Beneath the Surface: Dances from Within promises to be an evening of exciting and deeply moving performances. The program showcases the beauty of contemporary dance, the talent of RKDC’s skilled performers, and the universal stories that connect us all.
