dre.dance happily announces the NYC premiere of our evening-length work, beyond.words

beyond.words dives into the world of autism with both wonder and sympathy. With movement that combines dre.dance's propulsive choreography and interpretive actions gleaned from typical spectrum behavior, Artistic Directors Palermo & Diggs passionately attempt to give voice to these 'multi-sensory' individuals. Inspired by first-person accounts of people on 'the spectrum', beyond.words challenges common conception that the 'afflicted' want and need to be cured, and hopes to shed light on the beauty and spirit of these 'inherently gentle, exquisitely sensitive' (Stillman) beings.
