Featuring a range of interdisciplinary new and revised works, Fall For Dance showcases cross-disciplinary dialogue that invites the audience to consider what Pan-African, street, contemporary and technology-based movement forms have to say to one another and what we can learn by listening.

The American Girl Dolls are all grown up and gathered together for a televised Bachelor-style reunion to decide the fate of the company. But suddenly, the girls start disappearing; something glitches and we’re thrown into a glossy feminist co-working space on the brink of expansion. The progressive women at the helm are still perpetuating age-old oppressive practices, now just in a shade of millennial pink. In Sisters We Trust, or My F*cked Up American Girl Doll Play investigates how corporate feminism is repeating and rebranding mistakes of the past instead of finding new pathways to empowerment.
