Known for his devised choreographic methods and acclaimed work with immigrant and refugee communities, Irish choreographer John Scott is a 26/27 season artist-in-residence. Exploring traditions carried across borders and how our stories are shaped by this migration, Scott will embark on a multi-session creative process with new American citizens and other Philadelphians whose lives reflect the impact of immigration. Together, they will construct a dance‑theatre work inspired by personal histories, languages and everyday movements—a collective journey through identity, resilience and cultural lineage. Featuring an ensemble of professional dancers and community members, the world premiere of Ancestral Movements offers an intimate expression of migration’s imprint on bodies, memory and belonging.
