Nova Linea Contemporary Dance is Wisconsin’s premier contemporary dance company. Known for their emotionally-provocative performances, it is Nova Linea’s mission to provide accessible and relatable stories through dance to the communities it performs for. Through a physically expressive movement style, Nova Linea aims to guide audiences through compelling stories, themes, and emotions, provoking thought and reflection.
In this evening of dance, Nova Linea will present some wounds never heal. Choreographed by Artistic Director Jared Baker, this piece delves into the emotional landscape of loss. Exploring the depth of human emotion, some wounds never heal examines how grief shapes and changes us, posing profound questions: How do we pic ourselves back up and continue moving forward? How do these life-altering events leave their mark on us, both physically and emotionally? This piece not only reflects personal pain, but also emphasizes the importance of community, compassion, and empathy in the healing process. It highlights how shared experiences of loss can forge deeper connections between individuals, fostering a collective resilience. This moving performance invites the audience to engage with their own experiences of grief and to find solace in the understanding and support of others.
