Wortham Presents

Stewart/Owen Dance + Guests

Fri & Sat, May 1 & 2 • 7 pm

After a sold-out run in 2024, this curated evening showcases the ensemble alongside guest choreographers, each bringing a distinct voice. Spanning from elegant to electric, the program includes Stewart/Owen’s Asheville premiere of The Front—a sharply charged satire commissioned by the American Dance Festival.

The Front was commissioned by American Dance Festival with support from The Mary Duke Biddle Foundation. 

Spotlight on Stewart/Owen Dance:

  • The Front makes its Asheville debut with sharp satire and kinetic energy 
  • Their work bridges dance, film, and music through high-profile collaborations 
  • Recently named WNC’s top dance company for pushing creative boundaries 
  • As Wortham’s Resident Company, they teach community classes and perform  
  • Their 2023 Wortham performances sold out—continuing a streak of high-demand shows
