MorDance presents its Spring 2023 Season with groundbreaking new ballets centering themes of activism and humanity from April 28-29. Celebrating the company’s tenth anniversary performance season, the program’s collaborations are committed to dancemaking that embodies artistic excellence while promoting civic engagement and social awareness. Choreographer Morgan McEwen will be joined by composer Polina Nazaykinskaya to create a new work inspired by Emily Dickinson's poem They Shut Me Up In Prose with live accompaniment by Konstantin Soukhovetski and Jesus Rodolfo. An additional partnership with composer Josh Knowles is influenced by visual artist Chris Jordan's film Albatross. The much anticipated revival of McEwen's 2018 ballet Stabat Mater will round out this triple bill.
