SOFTER SKILLS is an intimate yet powerful performance following the journey of three women, all rich with decades of experience both on and off stage, who vulnerably share perspectives of life through the knowledge and skills they gathered throughout their dance careers. They are performers, teachers, colleagues, mothers, family members and artistic queens in their own right. Live and up close, they bravely expose their perspective of what it means to be a dancer. They proudly show off that age can be just a number and that capabilities of the body can be endless. 

"What does dancing teach us? What do we obtain in our core ideologies from dedicating our lives, bodies, time, attention and care to this art form? What do we have to share? And would we do it all over again?"

SOFTER SKILLS refer to a set of interpersonal attributes that enable individuals to effectively navigate various situations. These skills encompass communication, teamwork, adaptability, problem-solving, emotional intelligence, and much more. In contemporary dance, soft skills play a pivotal role as the invisible thread that weaves together the fabric of a performance. Soft skills give depth and richness to the artistry of a performance. They empower performers to transcend the physical realm and create a captivating narrative that resonates deeply with the audience.
