Equipoise Dance returns with its Season 2 concert, “The Harsh Art of Unanchoring” — an evening of contemporary dance rooted in authentic human connection, reflection, and shared physical inquiry.

Performed by company artists Anneka Parr, Bethany Lynch, Emma Neilson, Lauran Drackett, and Melissa Koh Krienke, this program emerges from a journey into the subconscious, asking: What are we carrying that no longer serves us? What holds us in place, limiting forward motion? And what might become possible if we loosen our grip — allowing weight to lift, shift, or fall away entirely? These questions are embodied through distinct movement voices, each dancer drawing from personal experience — informing both an intimate duet performed by directors Heather Smith and Samantha Weissbach and the full-company work “and there I was”.

Between these works sits “Hi, I’m a mother”, a piece shaped through the lived experience of six dynamic guest artists, each sharing intimate realities of their relationship with motherhood and how it reshapes identity, purpose, and the body at its core.

“The Harsh Art of Unanchoring” invites audiences into an immersive evening of movement and storytelling — where powerful physicality, shared vulnerability, and moments of release offer both an engaging performance and space for personal reflection.
