BLiPSWiTCH

- A COLLABORATIVE MOVEMENT -

Dear V,

The Curtain Theatre | Austin, TX

“The bold performers of BLiPSWiTCH have struck out into the light of day with their show Dear V, … fifty minutes of nonstop athletic dance, all absorbingly abstract … throwing down a gauntlet for other contemporary dance groups to pick up in the coming post-Covid world. Welcome the light.”

- David Glen Robinson, Central Texas Live Theatre (review excerpt)

With Dear V, contemporary dance took center stage for the first time in the history of The Curtain Theatre, an outdoor Shakespearean theater on Lake Austin. Drawing on historical and literary themes, five female dancers embraced the obscurity and contradictions of the human experience. Through intricate choreographies and improvisational imagery, Dear V, illuminated the prismatic complexity, valor, rawness and empathy of the feminine sublime.
