This year’s residency spotlights a large group piece featuring 12 emerging dancers and choreographers. The work explores the theme of shifting identities, reflecting on the power of evolution in our fast-paced world. Through this exploration, Dance//Novella examine the role of dance and art in today’s society: as mirrors of change, catalysts for connection, and spaces for reimagining who we are. Together, we invite audiences to witness a dynamic conversation in motion, where individual and collective identities transform before their eyes.
