Nationally acclaimed ISHIDA Dance Company is back.
Pulitzer prize-winning dance critic Sarah L Kaufman described Ishida’s work as “deeply poignant” and “remarkable”.
“The dancers weaved pure magic in the air, and you could almost hear jaws dropping as they moved…” wrote Brett Cullum, Broadway World.
Rara avis is a highly physical, visually stunning, and emotionally resonant program with critically acclaimed dancers and choreography. Rara avis by ISHIDA follows a singer who struggles with imposter syndrome as she returns to stage after taking a hiatus. The program includes Mutual Comfort by world renowned Romanian choreographer Edward Clug and a new dance theater work by award-winning Finnish choreographer Kristian Lever.
