2024-2025 SEASONFew Words
March 26 - March 30, 2025
This world premiere new work, told entirely through dance and movement, delves into the profound themes of the human spirit overcoming obstacles and challenges. Featuring original music composed by A.C.T. of CT’s Resident Music Supervisor Bryan Perri, the production is directed by A.C.T.’s Artistic Director Daniel C. Levine, with Dance Supervision by acclaimed choreographer Sara Brians. This exciting new piece will feature original choreography by four of New York City's most in-demand choreographers and promises to be an exciting and unique experience. By limiting dialogue and lyrics, the show relies on the dancers' physicality and movements to communicate story, emotions, and themes creating a universal form of storytelling that transcends language and invites audiences to connect on a visceral level. Few Words: A Dance Cycle highlights the power of dance and offers a compelling exploration of resilience and triumph. A.C.T. of CT is thrilled to collaborate with the Ridgefield Symphony Orchestra on this project which will run for only 1 week at A.C.T. of CT.
Few Words played its final performance on March 30, 2025.
