CONTRA-TIEMPO is a bold, multilingual, Los Angeles-based dance company that creates electrifying, politically astute performance work that moves audiences to imagine what is possible. The company engages diverse audiences, cultivates dancer leaders, and centers stories not traditionally heard on the concert stage. Led by Artistic Director Ana Maria Alvarez, the company members are professional dancers, artists, immigrants, educators, activists, organizers, and movers of all types, living and working across Los Angeles and the country. In this #ConcertsForKids performance, CONTRA-TIEMPO shares an excerpt of the evening-length collaborative work, JoyUSJustUS, a piece that lifts up joy as the ultimate expression of resistance.
