Bow & Sparrow's NeverAfter in Traverse City

San Francisco-based aerial dance company Bow & Sparrow, directed by Michigan native Alayna Stroud, is showcasing their signature high-flying dance with NeverAfter. They are taking their audience on a fantastical adventure down a rabbit hole to another world where people levitate, everything moves rhythmically, and everyone is simply mad. The story follows a modern girl who's too busy to date through a comedic speed-dating mishap and into an alternate dimension where she just might find the time to get swept, literally, off her feet.
Bow & Sparrow specializes in creating an interactive experience for audiences. They make going to theater cool again, turning their shows into an old school hip style happening. There is a live DJ, performances happening around the room, a dance party afterwards and room in between the works to move around, chat and enjoy yourself. NeverAfter features set design by L.A.-based graffiti artist Hieronymus, the tap styling of rhythm-master Julianne Harper, the acting prowess of Zoe Galvez, the comedic zaniness of Chris Libby, and aerial works along with artistic direction by Kate Law & Alayna Stroud (Alumna of Interlochen Arts Academy).
