About the Event The one experience that every human being has in common – other than birth – is aging. Yet very little is said about it. “Younger Than Dirt” is a new collaborative dance theatre production from Over the Bridge Arts which aims to re-examine common cultural attitudes and assumptions toward different stages of life, from dating to mating, through growing up to growing old-er, all through an artistic lens of humor and poignancy. Younger Than Dirt examines aging in American culture through an artist’s lens: how it is experienced, how it is viewed and how it is ignored in our 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s.
Featuring: Charlotte Crawford, Tamitha Curiel, Danielle Georgiou, Tina Mullone, Priscilla Rice, Sara Romersberger, Kena Sosa and Lori Sundeen Soderbergh.
