New Dialect: 21 Yeses

Imagining the tech-aesthetic of a space odyssey, New Dialect’s 21 Yeses blends contemporary dance with bold lighting technologies to explore light as movement and darkness as action. Choreographer Banning Bouldin (seen in Stewart/Owen Dance+ Guests in 2026) and production designer Michael Brown (Bon Iver) take audiences into a mesmerizing interplay where motion and illumination capture and release one another in an endless distance.

“An evocative, ever-shifting dreamscape that is fascinating to watch.” —Nashville Scene
