Los Angeles Contemporary Dance Company is a repertory on a mission. The troupe offers workshops and classes as well as a broad-minded program of original works by emerging local musicians, dancers, choreographers, artists, and designers — the goal: attract new audiences with its fresh-faced, urban intensity. Modern Myths and Monsters presents four new works that examine the extremes of beauty and cruelty shaping our society, from the Wild West to the short attention spans of the present day.
