The Dance Complex announces its 2017-2018 CATALYSTS, artists with a strong history and connection to Boston who’ve demonstrated the drive and talent through their careers, however emerging or established they might be, to get dance moving from idea to performance. They have united in mission to create art that features their collaborative nature. The works created promise to be interdisciplinary, relatable, and expressive of their unique histories and forward-thinking views.

This year’s CATALYSTS artists are: tap dancer Ian Berg, originally from Chicago IL; street dance pioneers and teachers The Wondertwins, Billy and Bobby McClain; Artistic Director of EgoArt Inc., Nicole Pierce; jazz-loving tap dancer, vocalist and improviser Jenny Herzog; modern and classical Indian dancer/choreographer Chavi Bansal, from India.

The program will culminate with performances over the weekends of January 20 & 21, January 26, 27, & 28, and February 2 & 3.
