Dance Momentum 2025

Dates/Times: February 20, 21 & 22 at 8:30 p.m.

Location: Hearst Dance Theater at Lewis Arts complex on the Princeton University campus

Description:  Momentum is an evening of two distinctive dance works by Princeton seniors Tierra Lewis and Sophie Main. “Sync” by Lewis considers what it means to dance together. Blending club, street, and screen dance styles, the work highlights the connections between hip-hop’s past, present, and future. It calls on the audience to reflect on their engagement with Black art forms—examining reactions of enjoyment, bias, and appropriation—while navigating the boundaries between physical and virtual spaces of collective movement. Through this journey, “Sync” serves as a reflection and a challenge, questioning our awareness of both how and why we move. “Tank,” a new work by Main, investigates the constraint and catharsis of stage performance. Across an exhilaratingly arduous movement score, four dancers challenge their bodies, the audience, and each other, confronting at once the value and detriment of virtuosity. A celebration of exhaustion, “Tank” captures the will to perform—to see and be seen—through pain, sweat, fear, and joy.

Accessibility: The Hearst Dance Theater is an accessible venue with an assistive listening system. The February 20 performance will be open captioned. Guests in need of other access accommodations are invited to contact the Lewis Center at least one week in advance at lewiscenter@princeton.edu
