Erased Steps is an abstract dance theater work taking place at Union Depot in St. Paul. The work includes an original score, performed live by local composer Zack Baltich, alongside 15 dancers whose relationships are gradually revealed through the work’s deft abstraction, incorporating dance, visual symbolism, and imaginative staging. Shining a light on both personal and societal expectations, Erased Steps exposes themes of the past and the present; what things seem like on the surface versus what they might actually be.

“The Present and the Past entwine in lingering questions.”

A new evening-length work by José A. Luis through a Red Eye Curated Rental.

In brief: The start of National Hispanic Heritage Month. The celebration of Mexican Independence Day. Three Mexican-identifying/rooted dance artists. The weight of history, identity, and intuitive yet construct of communal events permeates this new work. Departure gave urgency to this new creation and departure challenges the tangibility right now, and inevitably thereafter. This is a dance reckoning with time.

In personal: What does it mean to gather one group of people, under one vision? How do you make space for histories, stories, uncertainties, departures, and returning? Emerging from a history of solo works revolving around my own experiences, I have struggled to find a clear way of welcoming other stories to co-exist with mine. The urgency to share more of my work with my family while striving for personal growth layers my approach to this piece. What vision I had is now in a state of acceptance; an echo of where I am. I fall back on the memory of where it started and how I lead, desde aquí.

Collide Theatrical Dance Company’s 10th season opens with The Great Gatsby at The Luminary Arts Center in Minneapolis. The Great Gatsby will run September 29–October 15, 2023.

Get ready for the most exciting party in town. The 1920s roar back to life as Collide’s hit production returns to the stage. Bursting with passion and drama, the blockbuster American novel is brought to life through dance and live music. Extravagant parties, glitz, and glamor surround the life of mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby. But as the sparkling facade of his world begins to slip, a world full of tragedy, loneliness, and despair is exposed.

“Not unlike modern-day social media influencers, Jay Gatsby reinvents himself to increase his self-worth through money and materialism,” said Regina Peluso, Artistic Director of Collide Theatrical Dance Company. “I’m looking forward to reimagining this story once again through a modern lens. By creating an inclusive world that reflects America today, we can hold up a mirror to the tragedy and hope encased in our society.”

Tickets available online or call 651-395-7903, ext. 701.
