SYNOPSIS
AIN’T DONE BAD is a momentous and achingly vulnerable piece of Contemporary Dance Theatre created by ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ star, Jakob Karr, who also stars in the leading role. Set to the vivid, revelatory music of Orville Peck, the piece originally debuted in Orlando in 2021, and features a cast of 7 dancers. AIN’T DONE BAD is a coming-of-age narrative, exploring family dynamics, coming out, and finding love, using dance as the sole means of expression to celebrate the journey of leaving shame behind to embrace your authentic, vulnerable voice.
