Playhouse on Park presents EQuilibrium Dance Theater "The Settlement"

Playhouse on Park presents EQuilibrium Dance Theatre in “The Settlement.”  This new dance company is on a quest to start a new hip hop movement.  Through an innovative combination of movement, music and the spoken word, the production explores finding an identity in a society that is increasingly disconnected from ritual, nature and community.  This performance will re-introduce EQuilibrium Dance Theatre in its truest form while educating and taking the audience on an awe-inspiring adventure.  All of EQuilibrium’s artists contribute choreography for the production.

EQuilibrium Dance Theatre formed in early 2009 to explore and fuse different styles of movement ranging from hip hop and modern to lindy hop, ballet and African.  Under the direction of choreographer and Artistic Director Jolet Creary, the company has pushed the boundaries of performance dance in the Connecticut area.  The company has become known for entertaining audiences through a fresh and unique approach to dance choreography and storytelling.

EQuilibrium Dance Theatre has performed at the Connecticut Convention Center, ArtSpace, Ted Hershey Dance Marathon, Macy’s, Playhouse on Park, Charter Oak Cultural Center, Mark Twain House, ECA in New Haven and at other dance shows and venues in the Connecticut area. The company also performed and worked with members of the Hartford Symphony Orchestra in the production of A Sojourn of Emancipation with composer Jay Hoggard and Sankofa Kuumba Consortium. Equilibrium Dance Theatre has recently worked with Indian film director Gautham Menon in an upcoming feature film that was filmed in New York City.

“The Settlement” will be presented on March 24th at 7:30pm, March 25th & 26th at 8:00pm and on March 27th at 2:00pm.  Tickets range from $17.50-$22.50.  Students, seniors and Let’s Go Arts members save $2.00.  All seats are reserved.
