SHOUT asks: Can we find hope in the ordinary? As a community, what are we?
SHOUT features DSDT dancers Emma Andre, Colin Frederick, William Brewton Fowler Jr., Anna Greenberg Gold, & Nol Simonse, and on film, Moscelyne ParkeHarrison & Hadassah Perry. Deborah Slater Dance Theater and Shawl-Anderson Dance Center are excited to co-produce SHOUT together in Summer 2026 and to offer an East Bay experience in the intimate setting of Studio 1 at one of the oldest arts organizations in the Bay Area. The performances will take place July 18 and 19, with performances at 5 pm and 8 pm each day.
SHOUT is a meditation on survival, difficult decisions, and complex lives. Collaborating artists, ranging in age from their twenties to their seventies, have each contributed writing about what ‘hope’ means to them, where they find it, and where it lives in the body. Using the body to investigate how we feel and experience loss, grief, and hope has led to deep connections between the performers and the generation of a rich pool of content for Chan (playwright) and Caruthers (sound design) to respond to. SHOUT is a place where stressful personal issues have been turned into powerful movement sequences - solos, duets, trios, and full company movement cycles - intertwined with moving text and a powerful score.
