Inlet Dance Theatre- Center of the Earth (Te Pito o Te Henua) - PlayhouseSquare Community Engagement & Eduction

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT!

In spring of 2008, Bill Wade and the company members of Inlet Dance Theatre were blessed to participate in the final phase of an International Artist Exchange with artists from Easter Island (Rapa Nui). As part of that exchange, Inlet artists spent two weeks on the island performing, teaching, and exploring. Center of the World (Te Pito o Te Henua) was created in response to this multi-phase international artist exchange program. The imagery in this work is directly connected to specific experiences on the island. Inlet uses their unique aesthetic and brand of modern dance and reference Rapa Nui cultural icons, environmental images such as the ocean and lava caves, and focus on global themes of community, identity and gender roles.
