Dorian is a hedonistic denizen of the Green Carnation, obsessed with surfaces, beauty, and himself. After being painted by Basil, he gains eternal youth and a supernatural lightness, even as his soul darkens. He leaves a trail of broken hearts — Sibyl, Basil, Valentin — and meets a tragic end when he tries, and fails, to compel Basil to repaint the portrait that bears his corruption. From the beginning, our goal with Dorian was to uncover his humanity, especially early on, and to track his evolution from someone vain and conflicted to something far more monstrous. Carved by @vailrobert and others, and often played by @derektabada , Dorian’s fantasy in the boxing ring and the stables was one of the show’s most intense sequences, developed as early as 2020 but only fully realized once the stables were constructed at the start of rehearsal. @leggybones and @derektabada vaulted over walls and lifted each other while hanging from the rafters — it was truly epic to experience.

JACCC and Entity Contemporary Dance present seed 🌱 Entity’s first evening length premiere since 2019, “seed” is a multidisciplinary, multilocational, multigenerational performance piece that explores the collision of contemporary dance, projection mapping, and ikebana–the Japanese art of flower arranging. How can we honor and embody traditional art forms to reconnect with our cultural histories, the seed of our existence? Performed by Entity Contemporary Dance and Sogetsu Ikebana master artist Haruko Takeichi, “seed” examines the ephemerality of beauty and the cycles of fragmentation, destruction, and rebirth within both nature and society. 📆 July 20 + July 21 @ 8pm (doors at 7pm) 📍JACCC - Little Tokyo (@jaccc_la ) Directors/Choreographers: Will Johnston (@willearnston ) + Marissa Osato (@marissaosato ) Ikebana Master Artist: Haruko Takeichi (@harukotakeichi ) Projection Artist: Caroline Marks (@carolinemarks_ ) Composer: Matt Cady (@caddyisbright ) Flyer Graphic Designer: Mike Esperanza (@mikeesperanza ) Trailer: Camryn Eakes (@camryneakes ) Performed by Entity Contemporary Dance Kent Boyd, Karen Chuang, Emily Crouch, Shiori Kamijo, Angel Mammoliti, Jason Martin, Grayson McGuire, Vickie Roan, Eugenia Rodriguez, Diana Schoenfield, Derek Tabada 🔗 Purchase tickets at JACCC.org/seed or link in Entity’s bio #entitycontemporarydance #jaccc #discoverjaccc #littletokyo #willjohnstonchoreography #marissaosatochoreography
