More about ECLIPSE:
Garet&Co contemporary dance presents the second annual “ECLIPSE:” an evening-length show of contemporary dancers searching for peace within chaos. Garet&Co is led by dance artist, educator, and choreographer, Garet Wierdsma. Garet&Co strives to create art that comes from a place of truth; work that is both guttural and beautiful. Garet&Co’s work portrays themes of the struggle within one's own mind, and the difficult tightrope walk of mental wellbeing. Garet&Co believes art changes the world, and is passionately and actively working to be generators of light through movement.

This year, Garet&Co presents an entire collection of works that were not showcased in ECLIPSE 2023- with the exception of one piece, “Come Recover Here,” which debuted in ECLIPSE 2023 and has since been extended into a full group work. ECLIPSE 2024 will also present two fan favorite works of Garet’s: “Outside The Box,” a collaborative multimedia work that debuted in 2020 during her time at NYU Tisch, and “The Search,” created in 2023, that will be making its debut on a professional stage. In addition, ECLIPSE 2024 will showcase an excerpt from “everyday&everynight,” a piece Garet&Co toured with during Season 2, and “Something We Share,” created during the 2023 Garet&Co Residency. Five brand new works as well as a piece set on the company by a Guest Choreographer will be showcased as well. 

Garet&Co is thrilled to be presenting the second annual ECLIPSE, and cannot wait to share the heartbreak, joy, and catharsis of contemporary dance with the audience.
