Houston Contemporary Dance Company, Kinetic Ensemble and its second company, Houston Contemporary 2 will come together for two exciting evenings of dance and music during Parallel Play at Discovery Green on April 16th and 17th, 2021 at 8PM.

Parallel Play references an early social developmental stage in children and seems relevant given our current collective circumstances of moving through the day in our own respective spheres and bubbles. Houston Contemporary Dance Company will present a world premiere from Thai American Guest Choreographer Keerati Jinakunwiphat with music by composers Benjamin Britten, Philip Glass, Osvaldo Golijov, played live by Kinetic Ensemble as well as a new work from Artistic Director, Marlana Doyle. We will also be featuring works from the company’s repertoire and two premiers from choreographers Kelsey Walsh and Donald Shorter on Houston Contemporary 2. The evening will also include an appearance by HCDC’s resident behavioral consultant and licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Rachel Tova Winer who will address the audience with topics of mental health and  provide resources including a network of therapists, psychiatrists, and physicians available to the  Houston populace.
