The Ohio debut of Hélène Simoneau Danse –– the French-Canadian choreographer brings her company to Cleveland for a beautiful program featuring stunning dance works that highlight the creative movement and innovative partnering she’s has become recognized for. Explore themes of identity, sexuality, romance, and the world around us in Simoneau’s Delicate Power as the piece unfolds onstage and examines the different ways we yield, share, or exert power. Blending sweeping movements, partnering, unique formations, and acute attention to musicality, it is no surprise why Simoneau has become one to watch!
Simoneau was one of the first artists to participate in the National Center for Choreography at The University of Akron’s Dancing Lab program in 2017 and returned in March 2024 for a creative residency as part of their 21st Century Dance Practices program, in addition to a Body of Work: Dialogues on Dance showing for DANCECleveland audiences.

Joe’s Pub at The Public: September 6, 7, 8, 9, 2023 at 7pm (MWDP on Sept. 7 & 9)
After a three-year hiatus from live performance, DANCE NOW (DN) returns to Joe’s Pub at The Public, Wednesday, September 6 through Saturday, September 9, 2023. Celebrating its 20th annual season at Joe’s Pub, DN resumes its 'right' place after Labor Day, once kicking off the fall New York City dance season.
DN will present in its traditional festival-like format, placing young, established, and mature voices side by side to offer 5-minute or less bite-size gems. Reimagining the new and evolving needs of today’s dance artists and their audiences, post the pandemic in a ‘new and now’ moment, DN returns in 2023 as DANCENOW / NOW to feature a presentation of all new works, commissioned from a diverse roster of 25 artists. The four-day run will offer two different programs of 11 artists each night, hosted by Deborah Lohse as TruDee.
The season will include a film, ‘The Dandelion Project’, created by Katherine Helen Fisher and Shimmy Boyle of Safety Third Productions, documenting the story of the DN community during these past three years as COVID scattered and reseeded them across the country, and the globe, affecting their careers, creative process, and lifestyles.
Performances will take place at Joe’s Pub at the Public, located at 425 Lafayette Street at Astor Place in New York City at 7pm. Doors open at 6pm.
Tickets are $30 at the box office at The Public. A per-ticket service fee applies when purchased through the Joe’s Pub at The Public website. Fees, are waived when buying in person at the Taub Box Office and for all Public Theater Supporters, Supporter Plus, Young Partners, and Partners.
