For over 25 years, the City in Motion Dance Theater has been developing high quality contemporary dance programming and expanding dance audiences in our metro area.
This performance is Kansas City’s only adjudicated showcase, featuring 10 of the area’s most talented choreographers. This eagerly anticipated event provides the audience with insight into the current direction of our region’s modern dance artists. This year’s performance will feature the choreography of Willie Lenoir, Erin Lustig, James Moreno, Jennifer Owen, Cathy Patterson, Lucy Shopen, Andrea Skowronek, Patrick Suzeau, Halley Willcox, and Ming Xia.
This week on The Local Show, we check in on the progress made in each of the five initiatives that are part of the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce’s Big 5.
What began in the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce Board room in July 2011 with 100 business, civic and elected leaders and 182 ideas for creating a greater Kansas City has become five initiatives which seek to to bring better health, improved education, more jobs, increased investment and a better quality of life to everyone in the region. The Local Show gathered key decision makers from each of the Big 5 initiatives to find out how much progress has been made.
