CULTIVATE deepens Malashock Dance’s relationships with San Diego Choreographers through new commissions and remounted works that highlight the artistic breadth of our community.
PROGRAM
You Are Here/Usted Está Aquí
The stage premiere You Are Here/Usted Está Aquí, a multi-iteration dance project that integrates a wide range of oral histories from San Diego residents and visitors to bring diverse personal narratives to life.
SEED Suite
The inaugural SEED Suite, a new initiative that invites choreographers from the prior season’s SEED Concert (formerly known as Everyday Dances) to remount their work. This year’s SEED Suite will include work by Bolles Sorensen and Kyle Sorenson, Khamla Somphanh, and Viviana Alcazar.
Companions
A remount of the 2024 San Diego Museum of Art commissioned piece Companions, by Artistic Director Christopher K. Morgan and Founding Director John Malashock, who each created a dance responding to the painting A Child’s Companion by Arshile Gorky.
The Dulling Effect
The world premiere of Artistic Director Christopher K. Morgan’s The Dulling Effect. Inspired by a 1934 Harvard study on how radio has a dulling effect on the higher mental processes of the listener, Christopher’s curiosity on how that dulling effect may have increased over the last 90 years of technology, and his concern that current political and legislative initiatives in the US are attempting to homogenize citizens, rather than celebrating their unique individual beauty.

- WHAT IS A RELAXED PERFORMANCE? A relaxed performance is where the ambience of the theatre ‘rules’ are relaxed. These performances are ideal for anyone who would benefit from a less intense environment, and is also designed to be welcoming to individuals with neurodiverse needs and those attending with them. Along with offering a few technical modifications and support materials, this supportive environment provides an opportunity to attend live dance in a comfortable setting. As the name suggests, these performances may feel less formal and more supportive of sensory, communication, movement and learning needs. At no time will anyone be asked to leave the performance due to sound, movement or behaviors related to differing cognitive/developmental abilities. This is a “no shush” zone. This will be a judgement-free environment.
