Dianne McIntyre: In the Same Tongue

Fall in love with dance this November when DANCECleveland presents In the Same Tongue by Dianne McIntyre, a nationally acclaimed choreographer and Cleveland native. In The Same Tongue unites a vigorous company of dancers and musicians to explore how dance and music “speak” to each other in this vibrant, full-length movement, sound, and language-based work! With live, original music by celebrated composer Diedre Murray, In the Same Tongue reveals how language creates worlds of beauty, alienation, harmony, tension, and peace. The work highlights the poetry of Obie-winning playwright Ntozake Shange to create a tapestry of woven elements, staged through a lens of Black culture.

The performance features talented dancers from across the nation including four Northeast Ohio dancers. Don’t miss your chance to see why The New York Times called the work “one of the best dance performances of 2024”!
