Triad Dance Ensemble will present "2000 Steps," an evening of innovative and original dance pieces, at the Seelig Theatre on Saturday July 29. Curtain is at 8:00 p.m. This respected, modern dance company will premiere works by Loretta Thomas, Blake France, Daria Aikens and company director, Karen MacIntyre.

MacIntyre's new work, Mask, is a collaboration with poets Mary Greene and Dale Laszig, musician Pattie Smith and dancer Loretta Thomas. MacIntyre says, "The piece borrows faces from three lives and weaves them together with the common thread of the human condition." Poet Mary Greene adds, "Issues of memory and denial, how humans find comfort and oblivion and eventually reach an understanding larger than themselves, comprise the themes of Mask."
