Threads Dance Project proudly continues its tradition of amplifying new choreographic voices with Tapestries 9.0- a program highlighting emerging choreographers. This year’s production features original works by Colin Edwards, Rachel Lieberman, and Hannah MacKenzie-Margulies, alongside repertory by Artistic Director Karen L. Charles.

The program includes excerpts from Let America Be America, Charles’ powerful work inspired by the chant “Make America Great Again” and the reality that America has never been great for everyone. Through spoken word and dance vignettes, the piece highlights the joys and struggles of “the America that is” and “the America that could be.”

About the Tapestries 9.0 Selected Works:

Colin Edwards explores the manifestation of unity and the circadian rhythms of sisterhood, revealing the ebb and flow of connection through the contrasts of night and day.

Rachel Lieberman is trying to make sense of time. Collaging text, textile, and movement–memories, griefs, and missing pieces–she is asking everybody: how did I get here, and where are we?

Hannah MacKenzie-Margulies indulges in Millennial nostalgia, reflecting on memories that refuse to fade and futures that failed to materialize, set to a soundtrack of high school anthems resuscitated from home-burned CDs.
