  Dance Concert\, featuring professional performances of works by Alyah Bak
 er\, Kim Jones\, Kaustavi Sarkar\, Ashley Tate and Tamara Williams.\n\n \n

 f times past. It draws inspiration from the music\, which evokes the nosta
 lgic and bittersweet memories of the people and things we have loved and l
 ost.Kim Jones presents her duet\, "Echoes in the Body\, Where Memory Breat
 hes." The duet examines power\, care\, and the quiet labor of empathy. It 
 is shaped by remembrance\, an offering to a loved one whose absence contin
 ues to move through time.Kaustavi Sarkar performs in her solo\, "Mirabai: 
 An Art-Song Cycle\," with Susan Gouthro (soprano) and Claudio Olivera (pia
 no). The work traces the spiritual journey of the sixteenth-century mystic
  poet Mirabai\, exploring her lifelong devotion to her personal deity Kris
 hna through longing\, communion\, and eventual separation.Ashley L. Tate p
 erforms in her duet\, "What You Carry\, I Hold\," with featured poet\, Amb
 er Isler. This piece is rooted in resilience\, grief\, and the power of co
 llective care. It explores the labor of carrying personal\, historical\, a
 nd communal weight\, and how resilience is created through relationships r
 ather than in isolation.Tamara Williams performs in her trio\, "Long MEmor
 ies (excerpt)\," celebrating the beauty\, resilience\, and strength of Afr
 o-Latina women through honoring their legacies\, histories\, and cultural 
 lineages through movement explorations. \n\nBuy tickets here. The tickets
