Where We Meet The Silver Moon

Where We Meet the Silver Moon marks the 25th anniversary of dNaga Dance Co. with an evening of dance, live music, and original compositions.

Where We Meet the Silver Moon will include the works ‘Movement Still’, ‘Whispers’, ‘Timelapse‘, ‘Bodhichitta Bunny‘, and ‘Spiral Moon‘. The program weaves together flowers, moonlight, and unexpected encounters to explore how we grow, return, and find one another across the years. Rooted in Asian American experience and animated by a spirit of curiosity and hope, this performance celebrates a quarter century of artistic collaboration while looking toward the future with imagination and grace.

Where We Meet the Silver Moon brings together new works that reflect on time, memory, and becoming. Accompanied by original live music and evocative visual imagery, the evening moves between whispers and flowers, moonlight, and transformation, asking how we carry one another through the years and what possibilities emerge when we gather in community. Created and performed by artists who have grown up alongside the company itself, this anniversary season celebrates not only a remarkable history but an ongoing act of becoming.
