Gear up for a weekend of exquisite dance performance as San Francisco’s ODC Dance makes a weekend stop in Spokane. Starting Friday evening, the contemporary dance company performs Mixed Repertory, which encompasses some of ODC’s best work. Then on Saturday and Sunday, the company performs The Velveteen Rabbit, a narrative based on the classic children’s story about a well-worn stuffed rabbit that comes to life. Through the performance, dancers retell the beloved century-old story by Margery Williams. Both performances are staged at Gonzaga University’s Myrtle Woldson Performing Arts Center. Plus, a group of Gonzaga dancers is set to join ODC for its Friday show.
