UNPLUGGED offers a distinctive performance experience that highlights the company’s range and depth through a curated selection of works emphasizing musicality, athleticism, and emotional expression.

This performance is especially significant for two reasons. It marks the Kaua‘i Concert Association’s season finale and represents a rare return of dance to the KCA stage—the first time in over a decade the organization has presented a dance company.

Additionally, BODYTRAFFIC has recently announced they will be discontinuing operations following this summer, making this Hawai‘i tour one of their final opportunities to perform together.
