The Historic Masonic Theatre hosts the 3rd Annual Alleghany Highlands StoryFest, an enchanting weekend of storytelling performances, classes, and workshops in the heart of Clifton Forge, Virginia bringing together celebrated storytellers and regional tellers. As part of this year’s mainstage presentation, Shannon Hummel/Cora Dance will present a special revival performance of Hummel’s critically acclaimed duet, down here.
Shannon Hummel’s 2015 work, called “a rare gem” by The New York Times, down here is a dance of fierce attachments existing because of, despite, and within the compromises we make to survive remaining together. down here makes visible, with the help of hundreds of tiny silver dolls, the little scars we leave on one another in our pursuit of control. Originally performed in 2015 by Calia Marshall and Katie Dean at New York City’s Brooklyn Academy of Music, this restaging for the Historic Masonic Theatre will be performed by Cora Dance company members Ross Honaker and Ammara Shafqat on October 25 from 7pm – 9pm.
