“Once upon a time” springs to new life in present day in LEVYdance’s newest production Rapunzel Variations. Set within a 21st century context, “happily ever after” looks different through the lenses of beloved storybook characters. This evocative journey of contemporary dance, live music, spoken word, and immersive placemaking is the company’s first production in its SoMa home studio, freshly equipped for full-scale works.
Rapunzel Variations is the creation of LEVYdance Executive Artistic Director Garance Marneur and Guest Choreographer Scotty Hardwig, in collaboration with Company Artists Michaela Burns and Keanu Forrest Brady and Guest Artists Cookie Harrist and Miche Wong.
