The game of life is reflected in dance through the games we play and the history we preserve. The modern dance classic "GAMES" by Donald McKayle takes us back to our childhood nostalgia, experiencing both joy and terror. "TRIBUTE" by Matthew Rushing, Associate Artistic Director of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, pays homage to decades of legendary Dancestors who preserved a slice of life with their classic works. Gregory Dolbashian created "Shatter", which explores human behavior in audacious and vibrant ways. The world premiere of "Swipe Left" by DBDT veteran dancer Sean J. Smith looks at the complicated mindset of a woman desperately trying to find love in all the wrong places.
