The choreographer will celebrate the 20th anniversary of his dance company with performances at the George Washington University Dorothy Betts Marvin Theatre this Thursday and Friday, and on Sept. 21 to 22. A Korean-American, Burgess loves to tell the stories of how immigrants “have become part of the American tapestry.” What can audiences expect from the performances?
We will be performing four really important pieces. They are works which all deal with the question of “Where do I belong?” They deal with that question in multiple ways, whether it has to do with a love relationship, with one’s relationship to a community, relationship to family and race, even relationship to life. I’m really excited for it, because it represents two decades of working on a very unique aesthetic.
