THE VELOCITY SESSIONS: David Roussève/REALITY

THE VELOCITY SESSIONSSPEAKEASY SERIES: David Roussève/REALITY

The UW World Series partners with Velocity Dance Center to present The Velocity Sessions, a program of Velocity’s trademark Speakeasy series of talks between artists and the community, catalyzed by UW World Series artists.

Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Arts fellow, and Bessie-Award winning choreographer, David Roussève, joins Velocity Artistic Director Tonya Lockyer in conversation on the evolving nature of intimacy in our technology-driven, furiously paced world. This Velocity Sessions/Speakeasy Series event coincides with Rousseve’s UW World Series performance of Stardust – lush, jazz-inflected dancing leavened by frenetic, angular representations of an African-American, gay, urban teen’s anxious dreams and challenges.
