An captivating evening of dance, creativity, and international collaboration in “This is SARAIKATIA”, a dynamic showcase featuring works by Katia Tubini, LPP Dance Company’s Executive & Artistic director from Italy, sarAika movement collective and Lo Poppy. Experience LPP | Katia Tubini’s premier show collaborating with professional NYC-based 10 dancers, sarAika movement collective’s new duet “Skin Deep”, portraying queer love between two women, emphasizing tenderness, acceptance, and resilience, and Fluid Creature Collective | Lo Poppy’s “patient meld” inspired by The Art of Kintsugi.

While the evening promises incredible artistry and collaboration, it also plays a pivotal role in the creation of a new work dedicated to and about immigrant senior women. This production, set to premiere in May 2025, will be presented by sarAika movement collective with a playwright Federica Bolrenghi. This work is part of University Settlement’s residency program, through which we have been building strong connections with their immigrant senior women’s community—participating in their activities, sharing dance steps, engaging in conversations, and fostering meaningful exchanges.
