Art Space: Full Circle Dance Company Delves into the Dream World

In November, the modern dance ensemble will present 'And Still We Dream,' a production featuring music, poetry, and movement inspired by dreams.

Art Space is a recurring element in the UpFront section of our print publication that spotlights a local artist or project making an impact in the city at large. Here’s what’s going on this month:

On average, humans spend two hours every night (and at least six years throughout their lifetime) immersed in dreams. This month, in its 23rd season, Baltimore’s preeminent modern dance ensemble, the Full Circle Dance Company, presents And Still We Dream, a production featuring music, poetry, and movement inspired by dreams. On Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 19 at 2:30 p.m., performances at the Baltimore Theatre Project will touch on themes ranging from daydreaming to insomnia, with one centerpiece work paying homage to dream-like references in the oeuvre of our state’s late poet laureate, Lucille Clifton.
