Alight Dance Theater

alight dance theater creates storytelling movement-based performances that are inspired by members of its surrounding communities.

alight dance theater produces visually striking, emotionally resonant performance events both inside and outside of conventional theatrical environments. We are a new performance group based in Greenbelt, Maryland that is principally comprised of dance artists but works collaboratively with other artists and designers. Through our blog, site-specific works, community workshops, open rehearsals & theatrical performances, alight dance theater invites you to be part of our creative community.

MONDAY AT 12:30!

We're so excited to hit the stage at Greenbelt Labor Day Festival as we share an excerpt of Faerie! It's FREE!

"Faerie" puts a lens to centuries of storytelling to feature the multidimensionality of these mythical creatures and celebrate the notion of individuality!
