MAKE DANCE SEE    

Inspired by the development of Body Against Body, the ICA announces MAKE DANCE SEE, an innovative program series that brings audiences, dancers and choreographers together in workshops and discussions. This groundbreaking program came together through conversations with members of the Billl T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, choreographer Elizabeth Streb, and dancer/educators Richard Colton and Amy Spencer of Summer Stages Dance at Concord Academy.
