WOW is a new dance choreographed and performed byKeely Garfield with Brandin Steffensen, Molly Lieber,Paul Hamilton, Jordan Morley, and musician Matthew Brookshire with music that is truly inspired by Kate Bush.

The creation of WOW was prompted by the thought of what it would be like to make something that was entirely sincere without a hint of irony or trying to be clever.

The John Stalwarts of late night television make jokes about serious stuff and we laugh and play along, and we are sure that we are part of the cure and not the cause, and so to bed. Parody and pointing to things obscure the thing as much as they try to expose it…Our good heart desires more, but we are made powerless by puns, and our powerlessness is what we feel instead of the gravity of our situations…Cynicism has seeped into our tissues, alongside skepticism and scorn. What does a truly sincere act look like? Is it sweet? Is it plain? Is it right or wrong? Is it naïve? Is it present? How do you perform from the bottom of your heart? And so, as though my life depended on it, I am here dancing around with a barrage of brave souls in all seriousness. And we mean it. – Keely Garfield
