Red is a Feeling

Boston Dance Theater commissioned Roya to make a new piece which “recalls the sensations where the experience of fighting for your life, holding on to each minute, and letting go all collide into the here and now.” Roya’s piece is paired with BDT Founder/Co-Director Jessie Jeanne Stinnett’s Fifties – set to a collection of favorite popular tunes from the 1950s. With the healing power of movement at its center, Fifties celebrates joy and rhythm and invites the audience to clap along as the work unfolds. Jessie and Roya’s pieces are joined by two stirring duets from BDT’s repertoire: If as if by Itzik Galili and Firebird by Marco Goecke.
