Non-binary dance duo slowdanger shares material from STORY BALLET a new work in development that premieres at KST in Fall 2026. The work is a surreal dance theater performance that examines Hector Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique, re-contextualizing the tale into an evening-length performance exploring the intersection of mental health de-stigmatization and perception, begging the question, what hold us together?
*Showcases are part of the Dance Managers Collective.
