Blurred Borders Dance Festival #14
The Patricia Rincon Dance Collective, renowned for its adventurous programing, celebrates its 30-year anniversary with this 14th experimental installation of Blurred Borders. Featuring quality experimental dance blurring the edges between movement and sound, political dance theatre, dance + sign language between hearing and deaf dancers, all incorporating powerful inventive movement and thought-provoking subject matter.
