Eisenhower Dance Detroit
Hailed by CBS Detroit as “the city’s artistic ambassadors,” Eisenhower Dance is considered one of the finest contemporary dance companies in the Midwest. Now in its 35th season, the company tours nationally and internationally, presenting the work of renowned choreographers while collaborating with a wide range of musicians, composers, visual designers, and directors.
Returning to Jacob’s Pillow since their 2019 debut, the company will feature I Am Not Myself by esteemed London choreographer Maxine Doyle, most known for her creative direction on Punchdrunk’s Sleep No More. I Am Not Myself is inspired by the viral song “Hi Ren” by Welsh musician Ren and explores the multiple complex voices within us—our beautiful dancing demons. The company will also present excerpts of Ongaeshi: The Debt of Feathers, a meditative contemporary work choreographed by Yoshito Sakuraba and inspired by the Japanese folktale “The Grateful Crane,” in which dancers inhabit stages of surreal transformation, exploring fragile threads of memory, sacrifice, and loss.
