Dance Nation
Stage play. Staged at Trustus Theatre, 2022.
Written by Clare Barron. Directed by Abigail McNeely. Starring Elizabeth Houck-Zozaya as Amina.
Somewhere in America, an army of pre-teen competitive dancers plots to take over the world.
And if their new routine is good enough, they’ll claw their way to the top at Nationals in Tampa Bay. But in Clare Barron’s raucous pageant of ambition and ferocity, these young dancers have more than choreography on their minds, because every plié and jeté is a step toward finding themselves, and a fight to unleash their power. The southeastern premiere of this award-winning show is directed by Trustus staff member Abigail McNeely with choreography by Brailey Johnson, assisted by Shaundra Moreland.
