DC EMPTY: Danielle Georgiou Dance Group

Friday, 11 July 2025

6.00 - 9.00 PM | $20 GA (includes 2 drinks) | Free for Members (open bar, 21+)

MATCH POINT is a public performance involving dance, clown, athletics, interactive elements, and many, many tennis balls. Set to the score of Antonio Vivaldi's “The Four Seasons,” this performance follows a group of athletes navigating distinct misinterpretations of the game of tennis. Why tennis? Because the game of tennis is a test of boundaries, a constant give and take of conversation and effort, and a battle between two sides.

The Danielle Georgiou Dance Group (DGDG) is an ensemble-based, collaborative dance theatre group that works within the ideas of contemporary dance and physical theatre. DGDG explores the experimental and avant-garde nature of dance and theatre in their creations of original dance musicals and dance plays. The artists of DGDG constantly strive to transform themselves, either in image or skill. They work to create pieces that question what dance is and can be while pushing the boundaries of theatre.
