Chutzpah Dance presents Unshaken

New York City-based dance company, Chutzpah Dance, presents Unshaken, an evening-length work exploring human resilience through a bold movement fusion of tap and contemporary dance, at Arts on Site on November 16, 2025. Join us as we explore how bodies absorb, adapt to, and transcend pressure. Are we born resilient or are we forced to become so?
 

Unshaken explores this question through three core lenses:

Neurology of Resilience – how the brain rewires itself during stress, forging new neural pathways in response to adversity

Dancing to Heal – movement as a method of reclamation and resilience, rooted in somatic and dance therapy practices

History of Protest Art – drawing inspiration from artistry born in resistance, where expression becomes defiance
 

Artistic Director Erica Isakower's signature movement style weaves these concepts into a layered and rhythmic physical narrative, designed to take you on a journey exemplifying not only how we endure, but how we rise.

Presenting choreographic works alongside the Chutzpah Dance company members and Training Company are Leticia Cirne, Delise Fusaro, Lily Kraus, Jill Moshman, Neville Dance, and Allyson Sledge.
