The Light In Between
June 27 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Event Navigation
The Light In Between emerges in a world of continual rupture. Not as escape, and not as resolve, but as the brief and necessary moments that allow us to remain. This season, Dayton Dance Initiative invites artists and audiences into works shaped by partial illumination — moments that flicker, hold, and pass between us. Through shared attention, embodied inquiry, and collaborative process, these new choreographic works ask how we stay in relation — how we notice, together, the spaces between impact and breath. This season also opens a new threshold for Dayton Dance Initiative: our first-ever choreographic commission, extending beyond Dayton to support the work of David Morse. Rooted in trust, time, and exchange, this commission reflects our belief that connection — like light — travels, arrives, and reshapes the space it enters. What we practice here does not end in this space; it returns with us — not as answers, but as the strength to continue.
