"The dancing is always excellent: full-bodied and expansive." – THE NEW YORKER

ODC/Dance returns with an exhilarating program of adventuresome works that invites audiences into the visceral, uplifting, and provocative power of dance. The program includes the West Coast premiere of Infinite Scroll (She was always gripped with the desire to be elsewhere) from Founding Artistic Director Brenda Way and Co-Artistic Director Mia J. Chong, featuring a new music commission by Grammy-winning composer Mason Bates. It also features Brenda Way's Investigating Grace, named an American Masterpiece by the National Endowment for the Arts in 2011, and Waving Not Drowning (A Guide to Elegance), a work by Brenda Way made in collaboration with composer Pamela Z.

On Friday, March 19, enjoy a special one-night-only Gala program featuring Infinite Scroll (She was always gripped with the desire to be elsewhere) and the return of UNRELIABLE NARRATOR by Catherine Galasso, a fan favorite from ODC’s 2026 Summer Sampler, in which ODC’s founding members Brenda Way, Kimi Okada, and KT Nelson perform together on stage.

Tickets to Dance Downtown and Gala will go on sale in mid-November. Join our email list to be the first notified.
