Dance Company : Upcoming Shows

2010 – 2011 SEASON 

This show will be a revival of our May Spring Concert since it was such a success and recieved great reviews. This will be a special, two-night only opportunity to experience the relevance of our local border issues, back by popular demand. As Chuck Graham describes, '"Crossing Boundaries' interweaves their stories with art so there is no ending. These twisted experiences become one continuous story that is still being told, in many voices, always getting longer and more urgent. Watching the production feels like slowly turning up the volume on a crackling radio station nobody wants to hear." To read the rest of this review click here.

This meaningful and timely thematic dance concert deals with challenges around borders: local, international, and personal. This piece uses the language of dance, aerial, live music, and theater to convey these ideas.

This concert features two special guest artists: Musician Pablo Peregrina and Latina Dance Project with local dancer Eva Tessler and LA artist Licia Perea. In addition, Debbi McCullough will display her work of found objects and clothing in the desert in the newly opened Historic "Y" Art Gallery.

Not to be missed, this concert showcases a company committed to giving voice to both its collective and individual visions!

ZUZI! Dance Company celebrates the Solstice with modern and aerial dance in a multi-generational performance including the ZUZI! professional company, the ZUZI! Apprentice company, ZUZI!'s “Many Limbs” Youth Aerial company, and members of our annual community workshop.

The word Solstice, means standing still sun. The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year; it marks the turning from the cold dark days of winter to the warmer, lighter days of spring and summer.  Traditionally, this season was used as a time of reflection, renewal and community celebration. 

ZUZI! CoFounder and Artistic Director Nanette Robinson and several choreographers including Associate Artistic Director, Beth Braun Miscione and company members Alison Hart, Mirela Roza, Sara Anderson and Karyn Reim are presenting dances.

Unlike a typical dance concert, the dances in “House Made of Light” combine to create a larger experience.  A few of the dances in the performance grew out of the writings and improvisations created during the rehearsal experience in particular, the community workshop and company dance “Waves of Light”  by Nanette Robinson.

ZUZI! will be hosting a silent auction of donated items including, jewelry, concert tickets, wine baskets, a weekend stay at the Gila Wilderness Lodge and much, much more. 

In this season of giving, ZUZI! offers as its gift the magic of movement, creative energy and reflection.
