The Wallis, Beverly Hills

**_Dance @ The Wallis is generously made possible by Koni and Geoff Rich_** Four powerhouse works. One unforgettable evening.  This eclectic program showcases **BODYTRAFFIC**’s dazzling versatility with four distinct pieces that celebrate bold style, storytelling, and movement. The works include a newly announced world premiere by BODYTRAFFIC Creative Partner **Trey McIntyre** for four dancers set to the music of Sam Cooke. **_Flyland_** by David Middendorp is a heart-tugging duet blending animation, projection, and choreography to stunning effect. Cayetano Soto’s **Schachmatt** **_(Checkmate!)_** turns a giant chessboard into a theatrical playground, drawing inspiration from Pedro Almodóvar’s cinematic flair and Bob Fosse’s choreographic swagger. Plus, **Jordyn Santiago**’s _Coalescence_, vibrant, affirming love letter to femininity, queerness, and community. * * * Read safety information [here](https://thewallis.org/safety).
