The Los Angeles Times highlights City of Dance, L.A. Dance Project’s month‑long series of free performances activating public spaces across Los Angeles this June.

See the full story at the link in our bio.

City of Dance proposes a simple idea: to take dance out of the theater and into the shared spaces of civic life. Set to Philip Glass’s score for Koyaanisqatsi, five choreographers — Dimitri Chamblas, Madeline Hollander, Benjamin Millepied, Jamar Roberts, and Pam Tanowitz — each respond to a section of the music, creating a unified work that reflects on technology, modern life, and a world out of balance.

Open Rehearsal at L.A. Dance Project
with Jamar Roberts
Friday, May 15, 2026 | 1:30 PM
FREE with RSVP

Join us in the studio for a working rehearsal with choreographer Jamar Roberts as he sets his section of CITY OF DANCE on the company. This session offers the opportunity to observe the company at work, and see the process behind this citywide project. �
The rehearsal will followed by a brief Q+A. RSVP, LINK IN BIO.

City of Dance is a free, citywide public program that activates sites across Los Angeles and proposes a simple but radical idea: to take dance out of the theater and bring it into shared public spaces. The body carries history, and so does the city; bringing dance out of the jewel box of the theater—a space some may not feel invited into or able to access—allows those histories to meet in the open, where movement and place can speak to one another.

Set to Philip Glass’s score for the non-narrative film Koyaanisqatsi (1982), five choreographers — Dimitri Chamblas, Madeline Hollander, Benjamin Millepied, Jamar Roberts, and Pam Tanowitz — each respond to a section of the music, creating a unified work reflecting on technology, modern life, and a world out of balance. Learn more on our webste, or through the link in bio.
