Grace
“Ineffable.”
That’s the word D Magazine used to describe the indescribable Bruce Wood Dance Company.
Before his untimely death in 2014, company founder and choreographer Bruce Wood captured his vision and work in this way:
“I believe that when you see a performance, your life should be changed; altered in some way. The echo of it should linger with you for days afterward. I expect that when the curtain finally goes up, you should experience something quite remarkable, something magical, something healing.”
His philosophy shapes the company still and may be why we look forward to a program called “Grace.”
“Grace” will feature the world premiere of “Ghost,” by Emmy Award-winning choreographer Ben Needham-Wood. Another premiere will be dance company artistic director Joy Bollinger’s “And Heaven and Nature,” a look at the seemingly divine design of planet Earth.
The ineffable program closes with a reprise of Wood’s quite remarkable and jazzy blockbuster, “Rhapsody in Blue.”
Bruce Wood Dance Company offers us “Grace,” Jun. 10 & 11, 2023, at Dallas’ Moody Performance Hall.
