Coming March 3rd through the 5th at the Moore Theatre is the latest from choreographer Donald Byrd and Spectrum Dance Theater, The Mother of Us All. Expect a bit of an into-the-looking-glass sensation, warns Byrd. It’s the third part of a triptych (previously SDT has “traveled” to the Middle East and China), and in the 6-minute video above, Byrd explains his process and his interest in “authentic structures”–dance that avoids a pre-curated viewpoint and opens itself up for more heterogeneous interactions.
