Reservation for staibdance Community Class & Repertory

Join artistic director George Staib and staibdance company members for an in-depth journey through class, process, and repertory. We invite professional, college, and advanced high school dancers to experience this unique world inside a nurturing and supportive environment. Our time together will include classes that emphasize engaging the senses, followed by a lively repertory class that reveals the inner workings of staibdance’s fence.

fence is a journey into a messy world of power struggles and dismissed histories, and an examination of how "otherness" can rob our power or become its source. Founded upon dramatic, life-changing events Staib encountered as a child in Iran, fence is staibdance's most political and socially driven work to date. Staib's intensely physical movement vocabulary bonds with traditional Iranian dance, to explore unrest felt personally and globally. fence gives shape to the conversation around what takes your power and what gives you power.

fence was made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts' National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
