July 15-17 and July 23-24, 2021The Wooden Floor Main Street Location
The Wooden Floor returns to live performance in triumph! Choreographer and Film Director Stephan Koplowitz plus the nation’s top artists and designers work in collaboration to adapt the organization’s contemporary dance performance into a site-specific spectacular for youth from low-income communities to again have the opportunity to co-create and express themselves. Using the organization’s Ernesto M. Vasquez-designed space, which our students refer to as their “second home,” these young dancers harness this platform for success they’ve always known and add their distinctive points of view to produce a poignant and ground-breaking experience. The Wooden Floor’s work has drawn national accolades and now reaches another level of artistic achievement, while emerging from the midst of the pandemic, showing the resiliency of our community and leaving audiences inspired.
Tickets are extremely limited!

ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE
Passage/Home draws on The Wooden Floor’s inventive energy and transforms the organization’s flagship location into a multiplatform stage and exhibition space for ten separate performances which encompass dances, multi-media, and visual installations. Each vignette touches on its own subject matter, drawing from The Wooden Floor’s mission – past, present, and future. Passage/Home is about creative possibilities, exploring the unknown together, and welcoming audiences into our home away from home.
