South Florida’s leading contemporary dance ensemble, Dance Now! Miami, entering its 19th year, is expanding its footprint with its New Voices initiative by commissioning a work from Jamaica-born and Miami-raised emerging choreographer Christopher Rudd. The world premiere of his work, sponsored by Miami Salon Group and Citizens Interested in Arts, will be featured in the company’s first major program of the season, on Saturday, December 1, at Miami Beach’s Colony Theatre, with an encore presentation on Sunday, December 9, at the Alper JCC in Kendall. The program also includes a revival of Dance NOW Artistic Directors Diego Salterini and Hannah Baumgarten’s Random Patterns of Falling Leaves, Salterini’s Melody in Four Parts: Just Traveling, and the world premiere of Baumgarten’s, Grace.
