Brooklyn choreographer/dancer Drew Dollaz is a champion of Flexin’, a gracefully flowing and near-impossibly elastic amalgam of street dance, ballet and modern performance. His newly choreographed small ensemble work, IMPERFECT, commissioned in collaboration with Harlem Stage, is anchored by original works by spoken word artist Steve Connell with creative direction by dance theater director Chisa Yamaguchi. Inspired by a social media campaign to address the rampant effects of bullying and trauma, IMPERFECT, a double entendre of “I’m perfect” and “imperfect,” is a multidisciplinary work that considers how these profound scars can perpetuate deep divisions but just as trauma can be biologically inherited, so too can resilience. 

*IMPERFECT was created and developed through Harlem Stage’s Fund for New Work Program. Fund for New Work is supported by the Jerome Foundation. Additional support for the development of IMPERFECT is provided by the Mertz-Gilmore Foundation and their Late Stage Stipend grant.

Supported by Jonah Bokaer Arts Foundation's Artist-In-Residence Program.
