Art House Productions is collaborating with Kenia Rosete Dance to bring a new modern dance series to Jersey City.
The show, titled “FOCUS,” will feature two to four artists per night, who will present their own original choreography. Each artists' piece is a bite-size performance that showcases the dancers’ creative, unique, and innovative voices.
Audiences can expect an easy, fun and inspiring evening. Easy in the sense that you can step into the space without having any prior knowledge of dance. Fun because of the variety of choreographic work you’ll get to experience. And inspiring as you can watch each artist create a world of their own before your very eyes.
Jersey Arts speaks with Art House Productions’ Executive Director, Meredith Burns, and choreographer and producer, Kenia Rosete of Kenia Rosete Dance.
Upcoming Dates for FOCUS include October 10th and November 14th, 2024. Click here for ticket information. Art House Productions is located at 345 Marin Boulevard in Jersey City, New Jersey.
