Baryshnikov Arts Center
450 W 37th St

Our partner, the Baryshnikov Arts Center, is hosting this program.

In I Believed It Too, a solo dancer fights her way out of a destructive false reality, leading the audience on a journey to reveal the many ways she dedicated her life to a world that fails to reciprocate. This daring and glamorous dance production explores the blurred lines of passion, labor, and love. Following the performance, teachers are invited to join a live Q&A session with the choreographer.
