A Message from Dana Tai Soon Burgess

For 33 years, I have explored dance as a universal language - tracing the confluence of cultures, histories, and human experience, and bringing their stories to life through movement.. As a fourth generation Korean American, I draw inspiration from my own ancestors, my immediate family, personal experiences, and the Company around me to explore the universal themes of identity, belonging, and home.

This season we focus on emotionally complex and abstract dances. Our two weeks of performances at the Woolly Mammoth Theatre include Meditations (2008), a full company work that celebrates the connectedness of the Asian American community through sublime phrasing and breathtaking elegance of movement. Drawing in Space (2026) is a premiere which pays tribute to the artistry and life of Japanese American artist, Ruth Asawa whose looped wire-metal works Asawa herself described as “drawings in space.” Caverns (2012) is a pensive piece for a trio of dancers. It follows the cyclic emotions of a protagonist caught within a web of remembrance and her inability to escape the haunting of an unrequited love. Charlie Chan and the Mystery of Love (2010) is inspired by my own coming of age story as a young gay Korean American in Santa Fe, NM in the early 1980s. Khaybet-The Shadow (1999) is inspired by a US State Department cultural tour to the tribal borderlands between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Now a signature work of the Company, this solo focuses on a woman approaching death; she revisits images from her life and ultimately comes to terms with her mortality. Sudden Snow (2025), a full-company dance inspired by the paintings of abstract expressionist Helen Frankenthaler set to a montage of Romantic-era classical scores that Frankenthaler herself listened to while she painted. This multi-media work includes an interactive video design by Felipe Oyarzun Moltedo and costumes by Taos Pueblo fashion designer Patricia Michaels.

I am deeply honored by your presence at our performances and thank you for believing in the beauty and mystery of dance.

Warmest, Dana
