Presented by HAVEN Global Sanctuary for Dance
Monterey Peninsula's New Leading Dance Company
This new professional dance company is the talk of the town!
Artistic Director Lillian Barbeito (who founded BODYTRAFFIC and recently relocated with her family to Carmel Valley from Los Angeles) is launching this brand new professional dance ensemble to provide work for artists, a platform for choreographers, dance education for all, and world-class contemporary dance for local audiences.
The programme will include a new piece by Zurich-based, celebrated dancemaker IHSAN RUSTEM with set design by Mark Baer, as well as multi-media and intergenerational new work by Lillian Barbeito and collaborator Skye Schmidt.
We hope you can join us for this exciting debut dance event!
