SUMMARY:"Never/Mind" by Koresh Dance Company
DESCRIPTION:Koresh Dance Company proudly presents its 2026 Spring Home Season at FringeArts! \nThis program features the world premiere of Never/Mind\, a new work choreographed by Artistic Director Roni Koresh with an original score by Sage DeAgro-Ruopp. \nNever/Mind is a state of mind in which your creativity is reached free from external opinions\, expectations\, and distractions. In this unfiltered mental space\, the artist cannot be swayed — focused solely on instinct\, individuality\, and authentic expression. Through Koresh’s signature physicality and DeAgro-Ruopp’s evocative composition\, the work invites audiences to consider what becomes possible when we silence the noise and trust our own voice.

SUMMARY:"Never/Mind" by Koresh Dance Company
DESCRIPTION:Koresh Dance Company proudly presents its 2026 Spring Home Season at FringeArts! \nThis program features the world premiere of Never/Mind\, a new work choreographed by Artistic Director Roni Koresh with an original score by Sage DeAgro-Ruopp. \nNever/Mind is a state of mind in which your creativity is reached free from external opinions\, expectations\, and distractions. In this unfiltered mental space\, the artist cannot be swayed — focused solely on instinct\, individuality\, and authentic expression. Through Koresh’s signature physicality and DeAgro-Ruopp’s evocative composition\, the work invites audiences to consider what becomes possible when we silence the noise and trust our own voice.
