New season showcases rising dance companies and other fresh talent.
Kelly Strayhorn Theater (KST) is excited to announce its spring 2014
season. Now in its sixth curated season of programming known as KST
Presents, KST and The Alloy Studios offer a diverse season of provocative
dance, theater, film, and musical performances that bring people together
and spark conversation. The season also includes fun and educational events
for the whole family, such as the spring season kickoff event: the fifth
annual East Liberty Celebrates Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on January 20.
One highlight of the spring season is the abundance of rising dance
companies, including the April 4-5 Pittsburgh premiere performance of The
Secret History of Love by transgender trailblazer Sean Dorsey of San
Francisco and company.
“We’re known for great dance, and this season exemplifies our commitment to
supporting great dancers,” says Executive Director janera solomon. “KST’s
spring season showcases so many new talents to watch. This is your chance
to see their work first and meet the choreographers and ask them questions
while the work is fresh and new.”
