Dance Nation

By Clare Barron

Directed by Kendrick Weingast

They’re young. They’re ruthless. They’re covered in glitter and blood. A team of competitive dancers claw their way toward glory while their inner lives explode with ambition, shame, lust, and rage. In the cutthroat world of pre-teen dance, the feral beauty of adolescence and the cost of wanting to be extraordinary wage war. She will win. Or die.

IU Theatre + Dance’s production of Dance Nation includes the following: ample use of artificial blood, use of coarse language discussing sex and genitals, recurring use of profanity and portrayals of non-suicidal self-injury.

Running Time: This production is 90 minutes long. There will not be an intermission.
