For TheMASSIVE's inaugural performance, executive artistic director Kyle Vincent Terry uses dance, theatrics, and words to explore how prejudices and preconceptions steer us in a world of stifling political correctness. The evening-length work acknowledges the pressures and expectations placed on individuals based on how they look. Kyle crafts works based on his exploration of his own insecurities and inquiries, as well as stories and opinions collected from an online survey and candid interviews that TheMASSIVE conducted on the topics of race and relationships. Join TheMASSIVE's ensemble of creators and movers for artistic analysis of the hubris, humility, and humor of being different in "post-racial" America. When you're young, talented and different, it's a thin line between standing out and sticking out.
