Sarasota Contemporary Dance Announces Its 17th Season 

August 8, 2022 – Sarasota

Sarasota Contemporary Dance is launching its 2022-2023 Mainstage Season, “RECLAIM,” a celebration of the company’s seventeen passionate years of bringing high-caliber dance to Sarasota and beyond.

Sarasota Contemporary Dance is stepping forward with confidence into its 17^th Mainstage Season, “RECLAIM.” A testament to the company’s growth and arts advocacy, SCD’s 17^th season seeks to reclaim the stage, stories, and the spirit of the company in a performance season devoted to empowerment, collaboration, and forward motion. This season, Sarasota Contemporary Dance is prioritizing diversity through collaboration with local musicians, reviving acclaimed SCD repertory, and presenting nationally acclaimed guest choreographers by bringing their never-before-seen original works to Sarasota.

Artistic Director, Leymis Bolaños Wilmott, shares the following: “in our 17^th season, we are motivated by what we have overcome and the assurance that this company not only thrives locally, but can expand its reach beyond our community. This year, we are excited to feature two live musical collaborations: enSRQ in December and a reprise of Jehanne with Mark Dancingers in April. Additionally, we are increasing residencies for rising choreographers to share their stories, by presenting more artists than ever before for our October show, Voices.”

Leymis continues: “These offerings continue to incite our spirited vision: being a versatile contemporary dance company and training ground that nurtures and provides resources for dancers and artmakers in various stages of development.”

All performances will be held at the Jane B. Cook Theater at the FSU Center for Performing Arts. Each performance will start at 7:00 PM Thursday – Saturday, with a 3:00 PM matinee on Sundays. Additionally, SCD will be offering Virtual Tickets Friday – Sunday at the same dates and times.
