Blue13 Dance Company Announces Playdate Dance Residency Public Performances

Blue13 Dance Company presents two public performances of works being developed during its Playdate dance residency program. Showcases will be held at Stomping Ground on Friday, June 23, 2023 at 7:30pm and Saturday, June 24, 2023 at 6:00pm.

Playdate is a Blue13 Dance Company project that brings together four talented and diverse Asian American Pacific Islander-identifying choreographers and their respective ensembles of contrasting dance practices to create new work and investigate how to empower AAPI artists through dance. The program is designed to promote community building, explore issues of othering and belonging in the dance sector, encourage artistic communication across genres, and elevate AAPI artists. Playdate’s purpose is to create a forum to discuss with other AAPI artists, and provide performance and networking opportunities. Blue13’s goal for the residency is to help build allies and create a larger and more diverse network, while also supporting AAPI artists as major artistic voices in their respective communities.
