A Premiere Contemporary Skating Show
re:member | to bring awareness to something from the past; a recollection.
Step into the ethereal ice realm of re:member, a contemporary skating performance that combines breathtaking artistry with hands-on engagement. This unique experience doesn’t end with the final bow—audiences are invited to join an open skate jam, learning how to glide and move like the performers themselves.
Performed by professional contemporary skating artists from across the United States, this innovative show fuses contemporary dance with figure skating. Skaters harness the element of glide, 3-dimensional full-body movement, spins, tricks, and innovative uses of toepicks, blades, and ice to push the boundaries of traditional skating.
