Documentary photographer Kevin Bubriski, in conversation with photographer Holly Lynton. In 1998, Bubriski lived among the Uyghurs in Kashgar. In the just-published The Uyghurs: Kashgar before the Catastrophe, Bubriski has created an unforgettable portrait of the Uyghurs and of the ancient Silk Road city of Kashgar before the Chinese government’s decimation of the religion, language, culture, and personal freedom. Today, Uyghurs and the mostly Han government clash over who has greater historical claim to the Xinjiang region. This struggle of native rights has led to the detainment of over 1 million Uyghur people in camps where they have been subjected to torture, forced labor, religious restrictions, and even forced sterilization.

Combining dramatic comedy with lyrical dance, Dance Nation presents a tender and unfiltered portrait of youth, girlhood, ambition, friendship, and what it takes to become the star dancer. Our production will be dedicated to collaboration and ensemble-driven work, creating a culture where all participants are involved in the making of the piece. Join us as we claw our way to the Tampa Bay Finals!

What if you could change the world through dance? What if you could dance away world hunger? And all violence? And all pets without a home? And all the sadness and the meanness? Such are the hopes and dreams of a group of thirteen-year-old dancers set on crushing their rivals at the Legacy National Talent Competition in Philadelphia in Clare Barron’s Dance Nation.
