Roses for the Last Dance

Roses for the Last Dance explores love, connection, and the bonds that shape us. From intimate reflection to collective strength and youthful passion, this trio of dances traces the many forms human connection can take. Stephen Mills’ One / the body’s grace is an international award-winning work and a meditation on intimacy and relationship. Quietly powerful, the piece honors the presence of shared touch and vulnerability. Featuring music by Johann Sebastian Bach, Christoph Willibald Gluck, and George Frideric Handel. Renaissance , choreographed by Amy Seiwert , follows with rhythmic intensity, celebrating community and renewal through movement. Set to the resonant voices of Kitka , an Oakland-based women’s a cappella ensemble, the work draws inspiration from Eastern European musical traditions, weaving together pulsing movement and resonant sound. In Roses for the Last Dance , Stephen Mills channels the soul of Edith Piaf in a passionately charged work that captures love at its most vivid - romantic, playful, and alive with possibility. It is a lush, emotional finale that lingers long after the music ends.
