BDT is performing at their home theater for the first time! This special performance spans repertory by internationally recognized choreographers, new works created for Boston Dance Theater’s Trainee Program, and performances by guest artists rooted in the local dance community.

Spanning repertory by internationally recognized choreographers, new works created for Boston Dance Theater’s Trainee Program, and performances by guest artists rooted in the local dance community, Crosscurrents offers a layered and immersive audience experience. The program moves between virtuosic contemporary dance, codified training traditions, and embodied philosophical practices, creating a rich field of exchange across styles, lineages, and generations.

The evening features selections from BDT’s repertory, including works set to music by Johann Sebastian Bach and Maurice Ravel, alongside new creations by emerging choreographers. Guest artist Anugraha Raman brings a Bharatanatyam-based practice informed by yogic philosophy, offering a deeply expressive and culturally rooted perspective.

“This performance is about bringing different ways of knowing and experiencing the body into one shared space,” says Jessie Jeanne Stinnett, Founder and Co-Director of Boston Dance Theater. “Each work approaches movement through its own system, musical, cultural, or embodied, and together they create a conversation that we hope audiences can feel as much as understand.”
