Stefanie Batten Bland’s dance theatre piece dives deep into core personal life thematics. With whom does society deem it appropriate to be intimate? To share our lives with? Inspired by the 1967 Stanley Kramer film starring Sydney Poitier, Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, the work pays tribute to those who paved the way toward acceptance in love and life. Set around a transformative dinner setting, seven dance-theatre artists excavate interlaced universal traumas through imagery and ritual as they seek a seat at the table.
