Nudity

There is nudity in one of the dances on the program: “Learning to sit with ambiguity.” “Kevin Dockery begins this dance clothed, and by the end he’s naked,” said Sharon Butcher. “The idea of removing his clothing is a metaphor for the concept of the dance, which is about a person’s struggle to become more honest with himself. To me, he’s dealing with this concept very artfully, and we feel it is really important for Kevin to be able to make this choice.”

“But we want everyone to come to our show, and everyone who comes to be comfortable. There are pauses between the dances, and audience members are free to leave the theatre before this dance and return afterwards.”
