I attended Inlet Dance Media Day at Wharton Center. After watching a special dance performance, I chatted with Michelle Snipes who plays Pinta in the show Among the Darkest Shadows.
INLET
DANCE THEATRE is one of the country’s most exciting professional contemporary
dance companies. Based in Cleveland, Ohio, this company utilizes the art form
of dance to bring about personal development in the lives of individuals through
training and mentoring, and to speak creatively about life and the issues we
all face.
Among the Darkest Shadows tells
the poignant stories of Lodi, a young victim of labor trafficking, and Pinta, a
victim of sex trafficking. Written by California-based playwright José Cruz
González, this powerful new story follows Lodi and Pinta’s harrowing journey
through contemporary enslavement and their struggle to be free. The story is
told largely through innovative dance portraying the magical realism of Mr.
González’s writing, featuring his signature style of larger-than-life
characters, bold visuals, poetic images, and striking symbolism. The show is at Wharton Center February 16 - 19, 2017 in the Pasant Theatre. Tickets are available at whartoncenter.com, or by calling 1-800-WHARTON.
