Dear Diary presents an eclectic evening of dance exploring the bittersweet complexity of nostalgia. During a highly collaborative 5-week laboratory, three choreographers and eight dance artists created new ballet-based work while participating in a “crit group,” a creative feedback process rarely seen in ballet settings. The result is three bold new works that welcome the choreographers, artists, and audience to take risks, shed old habits, and consider new perspectives.
