With wide smiles, light bounces from Christine’s bare arms and Ms. Julinda’s white top. The “Dance Place 2024 – 2025 Season” logo is in the top left.

Through Dance Place’s Creative Residency Program, join Hoptown, the newest immersive and intergenerational dance work by MK Abadoo/MKArts. Hoptown is inspired by the near parallel lives of Hopkinsville “Hoptown,” Kentucky natives: bell hooks and Regina Bowden, MK’s mother. The performance surrounds audiences in Sistering, a blueprint of fortified tenderness designed by southern black women, girls and gender expansive folks.

Additionaly Engagements: 

Sistering Circles – more information coming soon! 

Important Note: ASL Interpretation available upon request 2 weeks in advance of the event
