Rooted Dance Projects will move into the stunning Bella Rose Theatre for 4 days, which will include 3 day time school shows for local students in grades 4-12, and a public performance on November 6 @ 7pm.
This has all been made possible through partnerships with ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ญ ๐๐๐๐๐ค๐ฃ๐๐ก ๐ผ๐ง๐ฉ๐จ (๐๐๐ผ) and ๐๐๐ ๐ฝ๐๐ก๐ก๐ ๐๐ค๐จ๐ ๐ผ๐ง๐ฉ๐จ ๐พ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ง๐ (๐ฝ๐๐ผ๐พ). Aren Morris with HRA has organized the school performances, along with creating pre-show materials for teachers to share with their students before attending the show. BRAC has donated the theatre space for the 4 day residency, and is working alongside HRA to make the performances accessible to all attending students.
First premiering in 2022, WHODUNIT? has seen great success, and has become a well known and beloved show within the local arts community. Created by Kathleen Doherty, featuring live jazz music composed by Andrew Jackson, the show is a twist on a classic murder mystery. The movement is rooted in Jazz dance, with rhythm, connection, groundedness, and a major sense of ensemble between the entire cast of dancers & musicians. With laughs throughout, the cast takes audiences on a journey to solve the mystery, while accusing one another along the way.
