In the Same Tongue is a vibrant full-length movement, sound, and language based-work. Dance legend and choreographer, Dianne McIntyre, unites a vigorous company of dancers and musicians to explore how dance and music “speak” to each other.
Reviving the spirit of McIntyre’s internationally celebrated company Sounds in Motion, In the Same Tongue explores a legacy like that of 1920s Harlem salons, and the Black Arts Movement of the 60’s & 70’s, with dynamic dancers, writers, and musicians.
With original music by celebrated composer Diedre Murray, In the Same Tongue reveals how language creates worlds of beauty, alienation, harmony, tension, or peace. Dynamic vignettes ignite the stage, including McIntyre’s autobiographical stories with “the music”—such as the musical influence of the Black Arts Movement—and feature the poetry of Obie-winning playwright Ntozake Shange.

Inspired by a legendary YouTube viral video, this Broadway-ready musical by award-winning Filipino creators Romeo Candido and Carmen De Jesus will delight and inspire.
In 2007, a YouTube video showing the inmates of a maximum-security prison in the Philippines dancing to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” went viral on the internet. Who were these dancers? How and why did they do it? Romeo Candido (composer and book writer) and Carmen De Jesus (book writer) took inspiration from one of the world’s first viral videos to bring audiences inside the redemption, suffering, and joy that embodies the story told in this incredible new musical. An award-winning transmedia experience that spans multiple platforms, Broadway-bound Prison Dancer is a modern inspired-by-a-true-story about how fears can hold us captive and the power of art and connection can set...
