Shumka: Back to Our Roots

Shumka: Back to Our Roots  is a vibrant, high-energy performance that celebrates Ukrainian dance by returning to what matters most: movement, music, and regional tradition. Drawing from Shumka’s rich performance history, the program features dances from across Ukraine that reveal how geography, history, and community shape rhythm, style, and physical expression, from grounded village steps to virtuosic ensemble work.

 

Two Artists. Two Friends. Two Explorations of Ourselves.

Two Artists. Two Friends. Two Explorations of Ourselves.

Beth Graham and Brian Webb


 

These two friends who first met and hit it off serving on a dance jury, then became intimate buddies are sharing the stage! Each will explore in their own way: JUST WHO I AM TODAY! Two monologues told in dancing (OK! moving?) and speaking will reveal truths that may shock you, move you,  and even entertain you! Gentle provocation may turn out to be a big surprise!
