Born from the short duet “a little room” by Ephrat Asherie and Michelle Dorrance, The Center Will Not Hold showcases 11 singular performers deeply rooted in street, club, and vernacular dances including House, Breaking, Hip Hop, Tap Dance, Chicago Footwork, Detroit Jit, Litefeet, Memphis Jookin, and Body Percussion. The work, which features live percussion by John Angeles, premiered as a 30-minute piece at New York City Center’s 2023 Fall For Dance Festival, and is being developed into an evening-length work here at MASS MoCA.
