Works from GDC's acclaimed repertoire complete the program and will include Nan' Giordano's refreshed staging of “Giordano Moves” (2005), “Grusin Suite” originally choreographed by Frank Chaves in 1993, and restaged on GDC in 2017,Liz Imperio's “La Belleza de Cuba” (2013) and Autumn Eckman's “G-Force” (2012).
