"Alice"
is a delight for the entire family. A modernized and urban rendition of the bizarre Lewis Carroll tale, Alice in Wonderland. This one-of-a-kind, colorful and surreal production is filled with humor,
physical intensity and drama. Original video projection, sets, and lighting transform the stage and 15 Alices of all ages are cast and morphed to pull you through her wild dream and journey of
self-discovery. The dance is set to original music composed by Rim Laurens with narration, opera, pop and rave samples. "Alice" is directed by French choreographer, Daisy Stoloff with choreographic
collaborators, Annie Rosenthal Parr, Alison DeOliveira, Miles Kenedi, Erica Jeffrey, Gabrielle Thompson and costume designer, Wendy Medieros. The cast features nearly 150 selected modern, jazz, ballet,
hip-hop and break dancers from RoCo's youth program, Body Language, (RoCo's modern dance company), professional break dancer, Miles Kenedi and professional modern dancer, Annie Rosenthal Parr,
founder of RoCo.
