About this Event

About the event:

Roots & Routes returns this fall with two evenings of live music, dance, projections, and archival storytelling. The concert will serve as the culminating celebration of Dancing Through Time: The Untold Stories of The Dance Complex, a multi-year storytelling and archival project supported by Mass Humanities.


Experience ritual, installation, percussive and social dance, and contemporary performance, all highlighting the depth and diversity of artistry that calls The Dance Complex home. Together, these performances will honor our history while imagining new creative futures. Saturday night will conclude with a post-show dance party—extending the celebration beyond the stage!

Saturday, October 25 at 8:00pm

Sunday, October 26 at 7:00pm


Stay tuned for participating artists to be announced soon.
