Dylan will be performing one of his songs live to a dance choreographed and performed by Darby Kelley and Mallory Fabian.
“It’s Not About Pretty” is a collaborative performance project uniting three Los Angeles based female choreographers of color. The project emerged from a shared desire for a collective platform for diverse voices within the Los Angeles professional dance community as a way to promote equality, inclusion and artistic support. We see it as an opportunity for raw and authentic work to inspire conversation around race, gender, body image, identity, environment and cultural context, and a timely call to action for audiences and artists alike. The artists represent a breadth of traditions and aesthetic approaches, as well as the socio-cultural intersectionality of the Los Angeles community. “It’s Not About Pretty” will commence November 2018 at the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles and will be shared at various traditional and non-traditional venues through the greater Los Angeles area and beyond. Each choreographer will present one distinct 20-minute piece, followed by a Q&A engaging the audience in a discussion of the work.
