ALLY UP !! /  by Nathan Webster

ALLY UP!! will be the second iteration of our inaugural ALLY UP! ballet tailgater from the summer of 2022. Inspired in part by an all-female wrestling match witnessed in Mexico where the ring was lit by pickup truck headlights, AND an American roadshow-come-tailgater… We welcome you to the rematch, with dancers Tara McArthur and Sydney Sorenson, and more TBA!

Choreography by Charlotte Boye-Christensen; and with Nathan Webster as Ringmaster!

The event will be outdoors, and before dark on July 29th, 2023, behind 165 East 900 South, in Salt Lake City.

10 years! /  by Nathan Webster

Thinking back to 10! years ago, and all the people who helped us shape the first NOW-ID performance and company launch (and so much / so many more).

This is a screen capture from a video @davidnewkirk shot and edited for The Wedding, NOW-ID show-spectacle number 1.

Stay tuned for what is coming up next and soon!

Charlotte premiered a new work on her students at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. /  by Nathan Webster

Charlotte premiered a new work last weekend at Cornish Playhouse in downtown Seattle.

The work was choreographed in collaboration with her students at Cornish College of the Arts.

Lines Drawn was conceived as if a ritual for an imagined community to move through daily, to repeatedly define their world over and over as if movement created the world, and vice versa.

Thank you to all who made 2022 such an inspiring year! /  by Nathan Webster

Residency in Richmond, Virginia. /  by Nathan Webster

Charlotte was in Virginia a couple of weeks ago creating a new work on the dynamic dancers in the Department of Theatre and Dance at the University of Richmond. Last time that we were there as a company was in 2019 when we created the evening length production “Cross Currents” at the American Civil War Museum! We so appreciate the relationship that we have developed with the Department, it is exciting to watch it evolve in new and interesting ways.
