“The mood (of coloring) is one of radical vulnerability…eloquent sincerity…the performers dance with their skins turned inside out” -The Dance Enthusiast
“Chuck Wilt has managed to hone a singular language of presence, equally amplifying each human inside.” -Eye on the Arts, NY
COLORING, choreographed by Chuck Wilt, is an episodic dance inspired by themes of identity and unity that asks the question “What do we have in common?” The process of creating COLORING involved researching LGBTQ histories and interviewing members of the queer community.
Joining the eight superb versatile dancers is guest drag queen and cellist, Rose Nylons.

Discovering and communicating deeply rooted embodiments of human existence through physically powerful dancing and imagery, UNA focuses on individuality and is dedicated to bringing vibrancy and joy to the world.
SPECIAL GUESTS OPENING for UNA is a new duet The Other Half created and performed by extraordinary Canadian dancer/choreographers VANESSA GOODMAN and BELINDA MCGUIRE in collaboration with one of the country’s foremost lighting designers James Proudfoot.
It was half their lifetimes ago that Goodman and McGuire last danced together and now after 18 years apart, they revisit the shared muscle memory of their youth as a starting point to this new beginning through The Other Half.
