A 7-year-old falls in love with dance—40 years later, she works everyday to stay in the game. Created by Monica Bill Barnes and Robbie Saenz de Viteri, co-leaders of New York-based dance company Monica Bill Barnes & Company, this piece is both live documentary and performance. It features a large cast of San Diego dancers from 12-80 years of age who have learned their parts over the week leading up to the WOW Festival. Interviews incorporate their voices and stories into the show, giving the audience an unprecedented look into the life of a dancer as a new kind of sports hero: one who keeps moving against all odds. La Jolla Playhouse’s celebrated annual WOW Festival is a four-day celebration of immersive, interactive and breathtaking experiences from local, national and international artists. Free for everyone to attend from April 4 – 7, WOW Festival is presented in partnership with UC San Diego and takes over locations all around the campus.
