​Join Inverso Productions to celebrate intergenerational dance: performances, workshops, panels, and time to connect, bringing together professional and community dancers to explore how the arts connect us in different phases of our lives. This is Inverso’s 2nd annual Intergenerational Festival. This event is based on a belief in dance as means to connect beyond words across age groups. The intention of this Festival is to highlight the diversity of our collective lived experience, to inspire a fresh view on aging in society and include representation of older adults as part of our community in performance. Ultimately, it is about how we all lift each other up.
