Subtle Rage

Provocative new work featuring seven esteemed Vermont dancers and original music; choreographed and composed by one of Vermont’s brightest rising stars, Millie Heckler, the Vermont Dance Alliance 2024 Artist-in-Residence.

“Subtle Rage” is a multidisciplinary performance piece that merges dance, voice and original music to tell stories of rage, sensuality and forgiveness. This work asks: In what ways—subtle and obvious—does rage take shape in your body and life? How can we move with rage in a way that transforms its destructive impact into weapons of mass creation? With an original soundtrack and the expertise of seven eclectic performers, "Subtle Rage" takes shape as a funeral, putting to rest victim identities and offering embodied tools for healing and dealing with a rage-inducing world.
