The Room Upstairs

The Room Upstairs

The Room Upstairs is a new work inspired by and set to the music of John Coltrane. An ensemble work accompanied by live music that uses the dancing language of jazz, lindy hop, and black vernacular dances, The Room Upstairs is a world that holds space for devotion, camaraderie, and grief.

Choreography by Natasha Powell in collaboration with the dancers

Music Direction by Jacob Gorzhaltsan
