Imagine Better invites audiences to imagine a better world through honest, relevant and breathtaking dance. In the intimacy of a theater through the beauty of movement, our hope is that you would witness the good, the beautiful and the true. Imagine Better features four works:
The Lost Women of Juarez tells the story of thousands of women who have vanished in the borderland between El Paso and Ciudad Juarez. Julianna Rubio Slager, a Chicana with a deep personal connection to the story, approaches it with sensitivity, empathy, and authenticity. Through her vision, she will give life to the stories of these women, capturing their essence and the emotional journey they endured.
The Sea is Flat explores the capricious power of the sea and a divine presence that speaks order into chaos.
Wind is a mesmerizing ballet by renowned choreographer Steve Rooks, inspired by Alfonso Peduto’s music.
Counterpart is Julianna Rubio Slager’s breathtaking new pas de deux that transcends boundaries and ignites the imagination to reconsider the tension and thrill of equality.
