Digby Dance - Repertory

The following works have been explored to varying degrees and most have had at least one informal showing, but they have not yet been funded long enough to be finished. If you’d like to help these creations come into existence, please visit the commission a piece page.

1848
Created in collaboration with Erika Batdorf (batdorf.org) “1848” is a dance theater work that explores the relationships between body and mind, women and men through the lens of the historic episode in 1848 when an Iranian woman removed her veil in public for the first time.

Want
Using material developed during residencies with the Dartmouth Dance Ensemble, the Yard and SummerStages Dance, “Want” explores the frenzy of modern life and the struggle not to let “the illusory urgencies of the immediate distract us from our vision of the eternal.”

Lizard Lady
Composer Nick Stoia has written a hysterical dance suite, and choreographer Kate Digby has begun creating a series of cartoon character solos to each section. The first one is a Lizard Lady dressed in a grasshopper green mini-skirt and pumps who crawls around the stage trying to stop time.
