Experience innovative and enthralling excitement as Idaho Dance Theatre continues its 19th Season. "Joy Ride" premieres new work by Marla Hansen in collaboration with world famous artist, Saul Bernstein that will be a dramatic pas de deux performed to the music of Apocalyptica featuring vocalist Nina Hagen. The beauty and power of the human body, combined with the rich visual imagery evoked through the music, is the inspiration for Saul's painting. The experience of seeing the dance and the painting grow together is not one you will want to miss.

Marla will also premier another work featuring the entire company performed to the incredible music of Nik Bartsch's Ronin. Packed with dynamic contrasts and fascinating partnering, this piece entitled "Catch" will put you in another world.
