Poolside Performances are an exploration of experimental music, movement, and mark-making. Witness a dynamic poolside performance with Detroit Dance Collective and celebrate the expressive power of dance. Audiences will experience innovative performances of contemporary and improvisational styles, accompanied by Marco Schirripa’s live percussion. This special event celebrates former DDC company member Kay Rediers and her lasting legacy as Director of Dance at Cranbrook Schools.

Detroit Dance Collective (DDC) is a professional contemporary dance company celebrating 46 years of creating powerful choreography that heightens human expression. As Detroit’s longest-running professional dance company, DDC believes in the expressive power of dance as a transformative force that reflects significant social issues and human expression. DDC’s legacy and life-affirming work voices the personal thoughts and feelings of our artists and our community. Through performances and community programs, they explore the intellectual, emotional, and physical dimensions of dance to create Art that Matters.

DDC was formed in 1980 by Sue Ellen Dar, Paula Kramer, Barbara Selinger, and Anita Surma, four women graduates who earned degrees in dance and dance education from Wayne State University. Over the years, DDC performed and taught in numerous schools and communities, and produced concerts in theaters, schools, museums, galleries, and alternative spaces throughout Michigan and beyond. The company continues to explore, discover, and bring communities together to share the arts as a vital element of the human condition.

Poolside Performances take place rain or shine and are free and open to the public with RSVP. Cash bar will be available throughout the evening.
