The Studio Theatre is a space that has introduced our community to so many extraordinary choreographers, including Ma Cong. To celebrate both this special stage and his new role as artistic director, Ma will kick off the season with a world premiere that is sure to captivate audiences and leave them eager for what is to come.
Paired with Ma’s new work will be Val Caniparoli’s "What’s Going On," a powerful exploration of the modern human experience that was an instant hit when it premiered in our Studio Theatre in 2022. Told through the lens of popular protest songs by artists such as Bob Dylan and Marvin Gaye, as well as compelling images and headlines, this thought-provoking work examines the themes of love, social justice, and finding peace in a troubled world. With its dynamic choreography and evocative storytelling, "What’s Going On" resonates deeply with audiences, sparking reflection, empathy, and hope.
