The Dance Hall (TDH) will present Boston Dance Theater’s (BDT) Strong Women of Today on August 17, 2024. BDT’s Co-Director, Jessie Jeanne Stinnett describes Strong Women as, “A playlist of some of the hottest female choreographers in the US today that should get played on repeat!” Since its inception, Boston Dance Theater has maintained a deep commitment to amplifying the voices of strong female choreographers of color. Strong Women is an evening of short works that the company commissioned from: Sidra Bell (African-American), Rena Butler (African-American), Rosie Herrera (Cuban-American), Micaela Taylor (African-American), and Yin Yue (Chinese-American). The works will be performed by Boston Dance Theater’s six core company members who serve as dancers, teachers, and choreographers. BDT will present either four or five of the repertory works for a sixty minute exhilarating evening of female-led works. Free admission available to low-income community members.
