Named Dance Magazines’ 2025 “Top 25 to Watch” and a 2023 Bessie Winner for Breakout Choreographer, Symara Sarai (she/they) has immersed herself in interdisciplinary and choreographic studies globally with deep recognition. They have previously shown work-in-development in Danspace’s DraftWork series and performed their solo I want it to rain inside as part of Live Artery 2025.
In a new evening length solo this fall, Sarai is engaging in a love study; exploring ideas around romantic love, first love, and self love.
*About Open Dress Rehearsal: Tuesday evening’s dress rehearsal will be free with RSVP and open to the public at limited-capacity. Open dress rehearsals are a mask-required, community-minded program prioritizing our immunocompromised and low-income audiences. Staff and audiences will be required to wear masks (N95 or KN95) and performing artists (if unmasked) will be required to test for COVID-19 (rapid tests provided by Danspace Project). This is a first-come-first-served event. Danspace will not hold late seating or a waitlist during Open Dress Rehearsals. Thank you for your understanding.
