Original ballet performance shines a light on human trafficking

GO! Contemporary Dance Works presents 'Words Unspoken' at the Bijou Theatre on Oct. 19, 2019.

GO! Contemporary Dance Works is partnering with the Community Coalition Against Human Trafficking for its latest show, 'Words Unspoken,' at the Bijou Theatre. 

The highlight of the program is a 20-minute piece titled 'Trafik'd'  that shines a light on human trafficking. Fifteen dancers will move as a group from victim to predator to a society that turns its back on the crime. 

"Trafik'd is built around a conversation I had with Lisa Bolton, Director of Youth Services at the Community Coalition Against Human Trafficking," said choreographer Lisa McKee in a press release. 

"I asked her what would be the largest way I could misrepresent human trafficking within our area and her response was to present it as kidnapping. I was shocked." 

Tickets to Saturday's performances at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. range from $15 to $18.
