Celebrated for its vibrant athleticism, humor, and theatricality, as well as its commitment to collaboration, Dance Heginbotham performs an evening of work in collaboration with Ethan Iverson, the critically acclaimed jazz composer, pianist, and Blue Note records recording artist. The program features Easy Win (2015), a delightful ode to the repetition, drama and humor of a dance class. The work is followed by The Understudies (2022); set to a violin and piano duet, The Understudies was praised by The Boston Globe as “heartbreaking, suspenseful” and “simply, beautiful in its beautiful simplicity.” The grand finale is Dance Sonata (2022), Heginbotham’s joyous new work set to Iverson’s jazzy, four-part composition.

The Planets is a lightly immersive music, dance, and theater event in which audience members and performers are all equally present and interwoven throughout the playing space. The Knights and Dance Heginbotham guide the audience through our local celestial environment. Focusing on each planet, Gustav Holst’s masterpiece propels us from the fiery worlds at the core of our solar system to the icy bodies slowly orbiting in the far distance. The culmination of this tour brings our eyes and ears to rest on the one planet Holst excluded from his composition: the pale blue dot.
