About

Yellow Wheel formed in 2012 and kicked off with its first major season, Dance Robot Dance.

Dance Robot Dance debuted the company in tremendous style. Part documentary, part dance work it examined what it is like to be a young dancer today. The work explored our culture’s love/hate relationship with dance, the insecurities that it can bring to a young dancers life, and the freedom that it contagiously affects us with. What does it really mean to dedicate your life to dance at such a young age? What are the ups and downs of a life in dance, and how do our imperfections and individualities make us unique and important?

Dance Robot Dance was supported by Lucy Guerin Inc, C-KOL, and Cornerstone Events.
