Presented by USC Vision & Voices In Conjunction with USC Kaufman School of Dance
Presenting the life of a dancer through movement, interviews, and stories, each production of The Running Show is as exhilarating and entertaining as it is intimate and unique. Providing an unprecedented look into the life of a dancer as a new kind of sports hero who keeps moving against all odds and recruiting local dancers to join the cast and share their stories, this iteration will feature co-creator, choreographer, and dancer Monica Bill Barnes; co-creator and writer Robbie Saenz de Viteri; and the voices, views, and performances of students from the USC Kaufman School of Dance. Over a week of rehearsals and development, they will learn their parts from Barnes and be interviewed by Saenz de Viteri to create a one-of-a-kind performance.
Following the acclaimed show, the creators from Monica Bill Barnes & Company and dancers from USC Kaufman will reflect on their experience, expand upon the creative process, and take questions from the audience.
