Tap dancer/choreographer Caleb Teicher and pianist/composer Conrad Tao return for Counterpoint, a mesmerizing dialogue of harmonic, theatrical, and rhythmic interplay that fires the imagination and opens the heart.

Action at a Distance's Graveyards and Gardens is created and performed by dancer/choreographer Vanessa Goodman and composer/vocalist/violinist Caroline ShawGoodman and Shaw draw profound inspiration from the life of soil, weaving a tapestry of memory, movement, and melody that considers the interconnectedness of death, renewal, and life.
