Enter the world of LooLa, where girl meets boy in a funkified dance-theatre piece. Choreographed and staged by Tesha Buss, LooLa tells the tale of a young woman's exploration of sexuality, urban survival, and pop culture. A collage of contemporary and classic pop music combined with streamlined city sounds creates a backdrop by which we see our heroine pulse her way through survival in the "big city." Extracting movement from the classic elements of ballet, musical theatre, and jazz, this ensemble-driven dance story is turned upside down by pushing the limits of its own athleticism. These central themes are visualized through a swing-driven pas de deux, a hip-hop trio, and a fully realized cityscape montage.
