Somewhere in America, an army of pre-teen competitive dancers plots to take over the world.
In Clare Barron’s ferocious exploration of ambition and friendship these young dancers have more than pliés and jetés on their minds. With every step, they catapult towards finding themselves and unleashing their power. The winner of the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, Dance Nation is a raucous theatrical experience.
The Draw
“…conjures the passionate ambivalence of early adolescence with such being-there sharpness and poignancy that you’re not sure whether to cringe, cry or roar with happiness.”
—The New York Times
