Tickets start at $30

Co-Presented with Cal Poly Arts.

After 20 extraordinary years, BODYTRAFFIC will take its final bow at the close of this landmark season - marking your chance to experience one of the company’s final performances. What began as a bold dream has grown into an internationally acclaimed contemporary dance company known for its vibrant artistry and powerful connection with audiences.

Founded in 2007 and led by Artistic Director Tina Finkelman Berkett, the Los Angeles–based company has earned praise for its distinctive style, celebrated for its “invention, attitude, and urban edge” (The Boston Globe). With stunning performers, technical brilliance, and a commitment to bold, innovative repertoire, BODYTRAFFIC delivers work that is as sophisticated as it is exhilarating.

Presented in partnership with Cal Poly Arts, don’t miss this rare opportunity to witness the energy, joy, and artistry that have defined BODYTRAFFIC for two decades, as the company takes the stage for one of its final performances. 

“One of the most talked about companies—not just in LA, but nationwide.” —LOS ANGELES TIMES
