MORE INFORMATION ABOUT UP-CLOSE 2024.
What defines us? Nature…or nurture? What we bring into the world or what the world brings to us? Tidal waves? Or chain reactions? Find out with Mutual Dance Theatre in our studio home for a uniquely intimate series that sells out every year.

Experience dance up-close, feel the rhythm through the floor, and be a part of the action as our resident artists juxtapose nature and nurture.

In “Selene: The Descendents” by Trezon Dancy (formerly of Dayton Contemporary Dance Company, now Artistic Director of InPulse Dance), witness the building of the moon and its energizing power.

In “if you need me” by MDT’s own Ana Hart, feel the palpability of how relationships, reliance, and independence touch us as we age.
