$22

Santa Barbara Dance Theater Fall 2023 Season
The Ties That Bind | Los Lazos Que Unen

SBDT is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion by lifting up the creative voices of all artists. This year’s season does just that with work by two guest choreographers of Latine heritage who draw deeply from their personal stories, intersectional identities and unique perspectives.

  •  Miami-based guest choreographer Rosie Herrera, brings a vibrant, poignant and expressive work back with her re-staging and expansion of Querida Herida (2018)—originally commissioned by the Limón Dance Company.
  • Eric Parra offers a new premiere La Luz | The Light. Drawing on his Colombian heritage and personal family history, Parra utilizes group form to illustrate a rich narrative centered on personal and collective struggle and perseverance.
  • Artistic Director Brandon Whited will premiere, Miles to Go, a duet that resonates on the ongoing and increasing violence and discrimination endured by the LGBTQ+ community.
