The Odyssey Theatre and the Goethe-Institut Los Angeles present the West Coast premiere of the worldwide, interactive project, Just in Time: Letters to Dance.
From Berlin to Tel Aviv to New York, participants have shared their love and memories of dance in their everyday lives—in the clubs, the streets, at home, in the shower—through personal letters addressed to dance.
In workshops with renowned German choreographers deufert&plischke, children, adults, and students, ages 10 to 95, have come together to combine their favorite personal movements into an original performance for an audience of friends, family, and the arts community.

Join us! 
  
WRITE a personal letter to dance, sharing your favorite memories, experiences, opinions, and anecdotes.
Start with today’s date and “Dear Dance . . .”

Then mail your letter to: 
Odyssey Theatre
2055 S. Sepulveda Blvd.,
Los Angeles, CA 90025

Or post it on the LETTERS TO DANCE Facebook page.
