Stranger Danger

A performer in a white sleeveless top and black pants stands at the front of a dark stage with one hand on their chest, while several other performers move and sit behind them. A microphone stand and small table are visible beside the performer.

With a cast consisting of 6 strangers who responded to the Craigslist ad "Performers Wanted for Dance Piece - No Experience Needed", Stranger Danger seeks to capture the beauty, strength, and vulnerability of this eclectic cast of performers. Bringing together a classically trained singer, herbalist, stunt performer, college student, environmental activist, and media artist, this work challenges audiences to think outside of the box in response to what is dance, who can dance, and why we need it.

Choreographed by Julie Crothers, in collaboration with Greta Hadley
Performed by Chelsea Boyd Brown, Spencer Combs, Emily Parents, Alyssa Gordon, Chris O'Neill, and Lindsey Dantes
Premiered at the Merde Project, hosted by Kristin Damrow and Yikes Oakland, at Joe Goode Annex in San Francisco, Sept 5-6, 2019
