Ephrat Asherie Dance at Orpheum Theatre

Ephrat Asherie Dance

Ephrat Asherie Dance, otherwise known as EAD, is a dance company deep rooted in African American and Latine street and club dances. Committed to exploring the inherent complexities of these dances, Ephrat Asherie Dance investigates the expansive narrative qualities of various vernacular forms such as breaking, hip hop, house, and vogue, as a means to tell stories, create innovative imagery, and find new ways of expression.

Ephrat Asherie Dance’s first evening-length work, A Single Ride, took home not one but two Bessie nominations in 2013 for Outstanding Emerging Choreographer and Outstanding Sound Design by Marty Beller. The ensemble has presented work both nationally and internationally at ArtPower! at top venues like UC San Diego, the Apollo Theater, Dixon Place, El Festival Internacional Cervantino, FiraTàrrega, Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, The Joyce Theater, La MaMa, The Momentary, New York City Center, New York Live Arts, River To River Festival, Spoleto Festival USA, SummerStage NYC, Vail Dance Festival, White Bird, Works & Process at the Guggenheim and The Yard, just to name a few! Now, Ephrat Asherie Dance looks forward to showcasing two new works this season!
