DDD’s new work-in-the-making

A new dance theater work set in a middle school gymnasium turned polling site. The poll workers, a.k.a. the frontline of democracy, a.k.a. DDD, dance, sing and speak their personal and interwoven stories on Election Day, USA, 2040, while community members play the roles of voters. Picture a 27-year-old dancing while speaking their “what democracy means to me” essay from fifth grade. Where did we go off track with our democracy, or were we ever on track, with half the country hating the other half every four years. What if our Founding Fathers had been founding mothers? Why can’t voting be safe and for everyone? What can we do??? We will dance those questions - and eventually we will find the answers.

We’ll ask: Who gets to vote? Who doesn’t? Why? Who shirks their responsibility? How are disgruntled voters influenced by their past voting "mistakes"? What do you learn about your community?
