An audience favorite and quickly sold-out every year, Up-Close seats the audience in the round for a fourth-wall-breaking experience. It’s personal, powerful, and unlike any other show in the season. Up-Close ’25 features world premieres by two choreographers: Crystal Michelle, a Princess Grace Award Honoraria recipient whose Breath, Flesh, and Bone / A Manual for Lovers at the end of the world is an urgent excavation of the self, and Hannah Williamson, a resident company member whose Look Thrice continues her body of work of mysterious and thrilling psychological journeys.
