Repertory Includes:
Ocean 1: Wetlands, choreographed by Jeanne Ruddy.
World PremiereInspired by the Southern New Jersey Wetlands, this new work uses modern movement, text, and images to explore environmental threats and their ongoing effects on Earth's waterways, landscapes, and wildlife. Replete with references to shellfish, ospreys and even styrofoam, Ocean1: Wetlands is a compelling homage to everything alive and green and the importance of its preservation.

Short Term Memory, choreographed by Jane Comfort
World PremiereA new work, by New York City writer/director/choreographer Jane Comfort, that examines the boundaries of space; physical, emotional and psychological. Acclaimed for entertaining audiences with both wit and irony, Comfort combines dance, theater, text and other elements to affect richly-layered entertainment experiences.

Songs with out Words, choreographed by Ann Reinking
2004In a work choreographed for Jeanne Ruddy Dance in 2004, Reinking romanticizes the seemingly infinite boundaries of first love: from its most vulnerable to its most tempestuous states. In this restaging of a repertory favorite, Reinking's voice is resoundingly exuberant and optimistic.
