Mosaic Dance Theater Company Announces Fall 2020 Season

 We are thrilled -- THRILLED --  to announce Mosaic Dance Theater Company's fall season.  To be able to have a fall season during COVID-19 quarantines is a privilege, and we want to share with you everything that's on the calendar.  Of course, everything is virtual, and we are hard at work creating new and relevant programming coming to you throughout the fall months. 

A Fabulous Fall Festival

The Making Moves Dance Festival at the Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning is happening this September 25 and 26, and MDTC is happy to be a part of its virtual programming. Faced with myriad challenges brought about by COVID-19, the artists involved are applying their creative processes to present the works chosen by the curators of the festival.  MDTC will present Beyond the Image Suite, an excerpt from our larger production of the same name which premiered in December 2019.  Performers are Samara Adell (choreographer), Morgiana Celeste Varricchio, Kaitlin Hines-Vargas, and Danielle Hartman.The festival will be presented at no charge, but you must register.

Register now so you don't miss it!
