Chapman Dance is back at MATCH September 26-28, 2024 with another evening of outstanding contemporary dance to soothe the soul. Put down your cell phones, computers, VR, and AI and get reconnected through dance. Entanglements is Chapman’s latest work; a collection of contemporary dances inspired by physics and driven by our most basic human need for connection. In an age of polarities, the words of Neil DeGrasse Tyson remind us that “we are all connected; To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically.” We are all made of the same stardust and how we connect to others creates value and purpose in our lives. Entanglements suggest that connecting with others may be our greatest purpose in life. Read more
