The performance at the Lakewood Cultural Center will feature:
- Beyond the Edge of the Frame (choreography by Sidra Bell): Synthesizing the worlds of design, fashion and spectatorship, this works ignites the imagination and explores the complexities of the human condition.
- A Trick of the Light (choreography by Joshua L. Peugh): Inspired by the rare "green flash" that occurs just before the sun disappears from view at sunset.
- Fragile Dwellings (an excerpt; choreography by Stijn Celis): "I wanted to make a work based on a dialogue with silence and emptiness. Fragile Dwellings is dedicated to the homeless Los Angelinos." – Stijn Celis
- o2Joy (choreography by Richard Siegal): An exuberant homage to American jazz standards, o2Joy is, as its title suggests, an expression of sheer joy through music and movement.
