HappendanceShare

 

As a cultural treasure in the Lansing area and Michigan’s longest-running professional modern dance company, Happendance continues to find ways to develop the future of dance in our community. Under the direction of Missy Lilje, for the sixth year Community Dance Project offers free modern dance performances in a format designed to demystify modern dance for audience members and to nurture Lansing-area choreographers and dancers. Prior to the presentation of each dance, the choreographer verbally shares his or her intentions and process with the audience. At the conclusion of the show, dancers and choreographers answer audience questions in a talk-back session.

JazzFest is just one of three venues where CDP is presenting its free performances. (The other venues are July 27-28 at LCC’s Dart Auditorium and August 5 at Scene Metrospace, East Lansing.)
