In the world premiere work mediAcation, former Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater dancer Elizabeth Roxas-Dobrish explores relationships and the nuances of communication. Six dancers use ropes and move in sync, creating intricate twists and beautiful lines before breaking away into three duets. Coupled with music by various artists, including Nicholas Britell and Alberto Iglesias, Roxas-Dobrish aims to capture the angst of a social media construct while also revealing the intense need to connect.
