Raise a glass to life and community this May at the premiere of Invertigo Dance Theatre’s newest dance theatre piece and first Live show in 2022, The Kitchen Table Project: A Time To Gather. Known for wild-bodied dance and vibrant storytelling, Invertigo pays tribute to the kitchen table as a site of lineage, connection, and now as our office, a place for virtual learning, and Zoom parties when we would give anything to be in the same room together. In this new site specific and interactive dance theatre piece, we bring our kitchen table to you and acknowledge all we have lost and celebrate all we have to be grateful for. Let us gather and explore how we connect as humans, hold space, share stories and remember together.

Dates: May 25, 26, 28
Time: 7:30 pm/Pacific
General Public: $30
