bluma appel theater
the center will not hold
a dorrance dance production

Born from a little room, a short duet created and performed by Ephrat Asherie and Michelle Dorrance in December 2022, The Center Will Not Hold is now an expanded and reimagined work that includes a collective of singular performers deeply rooted in one or many of the following street, club, and vernacular dances: house, breaking, hip hop, tap dance, Chicago footwork, Detroit jit, litefeet, Memphis jookin, and body percussion. The work features original music composed by Donovan Dorrance with live percussion by world-class drummer/percussionist, John Angeles.
