(Tickets for OFFLINE are available at www.nimbusdanceworks.org.)

For the Momentum exhibit, matching artists to the theme was important, Adhikary says, and those who worked big were important to the selection process.

Slouching Toward Bethlehem by Abby Levine

“We selected artists based on how their style was with the theme we were going for and thought larger works would be better-suited for the Nimbus Dance Works space,” Adhikary says.

“Robyn and I wanted to show works that had vibrant movement, and great visual impact. We wanted to show the momentum of the artists and what drives them. We tried to have a diverse range to make the show interesting.”
