Delicate Power is a new 30 min dance piece by choreographer Helen Simoneau that investigates power, inclusiveness, and gender with an all-female identifying cast of five performers. Set to a live musical score by Pulitzer prize-winning composer and musician Caroline Shaw, with dramaturgy by Melanie George, and a separate art film and behind-the-scenes videos by Liz Sargent, the work will examine how women hold and exert power through voice and body, and honor individual agency and choice in relationship with others.

Estimated Artist Fees: $30,000-$35,000/week; $20,000-$25,000/half-week; $8,000-$10,000/virtual
