Show notes
Welcome to the third Repisode of The Core for Berkeley Rep's 50th Anniversary Season. In The Core, we talk to members of the community to see where the onstage and offstage worlds of our season intersect. In this Repisode, we talked to members of Paradise Square's dance team: legendary choreographer Bill T. Jones and Irish dancers Jason Oremus and Garrett Coleman, who are responsible for the Irish dance in the show. Together we talked about the intricacies of telling story through dance and the ways in which Irish and African dance styles and cultural histories mesh together in the world of Paradise Square.
Paradise Square is running now through February 27. Tickets are available at berkeleyrep.org!
