Join Social Movement Contemporary Dance Theater for the culminating performance of Season 7, By Design. SMCDT’s season finale is an evening-length repertory program celebrating the works that defined the season, highlighting the intention, collaboration, and artistic growth that shape the depth of the company’s artistic voice.


Together, these works bring commissioned projects and established repertory into conversation through powerful physicality, emotional depth, and expressive range, offering a layered look at where SMCDT has been and where the company is headed. Repertory featured in the program includes work by Artistic Director Elijah Alhadji Gibson and Company Artist Yu-Ling Yeh, alongside guest artist works by Terrill Mitchell and Abby Williams Chin. The evening also includes Desire to Discard by Bailey and Lenzy Zettler, performed by the SMCDT Apprentices, as well as an exciting collaboration with Urban Souls Dance Company.
