Cleveland native, Antonio Brown will return to create a major work on the company inspired by the discovery of a new world. And, revisiting the stage will be, Continuum created by Brown on the company last summer. He will also perform a solo work about the way people see themselves in mirrors on the Verb program.
Witness an evening of reflection with Chung-Fu Chang as he creates an evening of work to share a story about how his identity has evolved through his presence in contemporary societies with a distinctive fusion of the East and West. Chang will be setting a new company premiere inspired by the wind and how it has the potential of immense destructive powers yet has the gentle heart that can calm ones soul. Verb will perform the visually stunning, The Lily. Chang will also choreograph a new solo piece that he will perform.

Added to the evening program will be The President choreographed by Tom Evert and hailed by New York Times as, “personifies duality; the Ronald Reagan figure executes formal gestures to suggest an official facade, but is exposed as being only too human, full of twitching anxiety”.
