Project 7 Contemporary Dance Company presents EquiLIFTrium

Project 7 Contemporary Dance Company is celebrating its 5th year with their new show EquiLIFTrium. Dance Informa magazine recently said of Project 7, "The dancers of Project 7 are stunning, expressive dancers, who can explode into a dynamic leap out of nowhere, but also melt with coolness and calm. Under Wakeham’s direction, this group of talented young dancers has the world at their feet.”

In the process of building EquiLIFTrium, director/choreographer Cherrise Wakeham focused on human connections. Be it brief or long lasting, random or planned, these connections have the potential to lift awareness and shift perspective, creating a new sense of balance amidst uncertainty. The constantly evolving energy of urban consciousness and the vastness of these personal exchanges therein provide the inspiration behind EquiLIFTrium.

The five Project 7 dancers in this performance represent five different characters from various walks of life. Each with their own individual agenda, the characters’ paths cross, their lives merge, and one by one, they experience a deeper understanding of the world through seeing one another with new eyes. When we realize the power in connecting, especially with those we may not typically pursue or expect to connect with, we reach a higher potential to love and create balance.

With special guest Swagger Crew, from America's Best Dance Crew, and a variety of music including a spoken word comedic piece by Julia Sweeney, as well as intentional and powerful selections by Bjork, Nathan Fake, James Blake, Zoe Keating and others, EquiLIFTrium offers the audience a journey of emotions and makes connections through purely captivating contemporary dance.
