en route curbside series five // live: YES! Dance Theater

Curated by Subcircle and Jacqui DeFrança

Friday March 11 & Saturday March 12, 6:00 & 7:30PM

Curbside at 163 Main Street, Biddeford, ME

YES is a dance theatre ensemble creating and performing live art on the coast of Maine. Our collaboration began with the intention to say YES! to ourselves and each other.

We strive to access and follow authentic impulses for expression, with the hope that our audiences will do the same.

Our newest work Dances with Fate is a fusion of movement improvisation, projected visual storytelling, and non-verbal conversation between performer and audience. Each presentation is unique and inspired by the presence of the viewers. We aim to challenge and ultimately dissolve the separation between dancer and witness.

Engine is and has been a focal point of downtown Biddeford for many years for so many artists and creative spirits. It is a go-to for me: a retreat, a destination, a source for connection and ideas and community.

Engine is a wonderful place to work surrounded by wonderful people who have infused so much love and light into the downtown of Biddeford. I cannot imagine a bright future in the town without this wonderful organization.
