Image Description: The image features a textured, warm-toned scene where two people are partially obscured by large bundles of colorful fabric strips. One individual, wearing a green sweater, holds the fabric close to their head, while the other, whose arm is visible, holds another bundle of fabric. The fabric strips are a mix of patterns and solid colors, creating a vibrant, chaotic texture. The background is a flat, muted beige tone. The text “Dance Place 2024 – 2025 Season” is visible in the bottom right corner.

Tangling the innate comedy of the body with its capacity for sublime beauty, make me a monument blends post-modern dance, object theater, and a dash of musical theater razzle-dazzle to explore themes of communal effort, shifting landscapes, and human relationship to environment. Featuring a collaborative cast of 8 dancers, an original sound score, and a morphing fabric set, this performance takes the audience on a unique journey through the Dance Place theater.
