The Center Will Not Hold

A Dorrance Dance Production
Created by Ephrat Asherie and Michelle Dorrance
The Center Will Not Hold is an innovative Dorrance Dance Production and collaboration by Bessie Award-winning choreographer and breakdancer Ephrat “Bounce” Asherie and MacArthur “Genius” Grant awardee Michelle Dorrance, “one of the most imaginative tap choreographers working today” (New Yorker). In its Center for the Arts debut, the evening-length work features 11 performers and original music composed by Donovan Dorrance with live percussion by world-class drummer and percussionist John Angeles. The piece is deeply rooted in one or many street, club, and vernacular dances: house, breaking, hip hop, tap dance, Chicago footwork, Detroit jit, litefeet, Memphis jookin, and body percussion.
