Wellspring Dance of Kalamazoo will bring modern dance to the Dogwood Center! The performance will feature new works and classic Wellspring repertory. One of the dance selections, “Citadel” describes the difficulty humankind has in coming to consensus within our communities, and includes a beautiful piano score by Chad Lawson. The program will also include a flowing quartet, “Now is the Masterpiece,” originally performed at RADFest 2017.
