The Dance Complex

The DC is delighted to engage Nejla Yatkin and to bring her work "Ouroboros" to our Julie Ince Thompson Theatre. Through the National Performance Network, we are co-commissioners of the piece and have been in dialogue with Nejla and the other partners for over a year.

The work will be presented over the weekend of March 21- 23, 2025 in our DC Presents Series. The spring offerings for this series include three women choreographers whose work celebrates past, present and future in our post-COVID world. Nejla’s contribution to this is a salve to the state of collective PTSD that we are feeling as a society in the form of post-modern cabaret style performance of dance, music, song, audience engagement-and dessert! In March, the residency will include 2 performances, an audience/artist dialogue and a process oriented master class. While a drumming circle was planned, since the death of the artist, we will arrange an alternative gathering featuring music and musicians to celebrate him.
