CLDE will showcase new work by Artistic Director Dani Tirrell and guest artist Nicole Clarke-Springer (Chicago, Deeply Rooted Dance Theater).

In What was, Color Lines Dance Ensemble creates a tender portrait of daughters and the loving and sometimes complicated relationships with their fathers. Dancers from ages 12 to 17 shed the negative thoughts of their fathers in order to accept love and give love.

This Woman's Work, first choreographed in 2002 by Dani Tirrell for Detroit-Windsor Dance Academy is dedicated to women of color who have survived breast cancer, through sisterhood and self encouragement, This Woman's Work will inspire and continue to bring awareness to those living with and surviving breast cancer.
