WHAT WE DO
‘Grey Skies blue’
In ‘GSB’ dancers powerfully tell the story of a summer of friendships through interconnected vignettes, exploring emotional themes of social injustice, sexual identity, family dysfunction, and betrayal. A group of diverse youth face a painful life-altering experience when one of their African American brothers encounters a policeman filled with racial hatred; two lifelong friends embrace their journey of self-identity together; an independent young woman is painfully forced to confront her past when her estranged mother suddenly appears at her doorstep; and a promising relationship is challenged beyond deceit.
