About

A multi-year initiative, ReGenerate will find innovative approaches to continue the work of Founding Artistic Director John Malashock by commissioning former dancers, composers, scenic designers, and John himself, to reimagine his work for new audiences. The inaugural ReGenerate is a three-part concert in which founding Artistic Director John Malashock, alongside commissioned founding company member Debi Toth and Artistic Director Christopher K. Morgan, restage, reimagine, or create new work based on John’s creative legacy. The concert celebrates the company’s lineage, artistic innovation, and intergenerational exchange.
