Movement and Storytelling with Dana Tai Soon Burgess at Chazen Museum
November 12 | 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Join us for an intimate and inspiring talk by Dana Tai Soon Burgess that blends conversation, performance, and cultural insight—illuminating how dance can become a bridge between the past and present, the personal and universal.
As the Smithsonian Institution’s first choreographer-in-residence at the National Portrait Gallery, Burgess is known for transforming galleries into immersive stages, where movement breathes new life into visual art and history. This keynote will be enriched by live performances from members of the Dana Tai Soon Burgess Dance Company, including an excerpt from Landscapes: A Tribute to Toshiko Takaezu—a kinesthetic response to Takaezu’s ceramic works.
