Experience the thrill of contemporary dance with Backhausdance / NOW. Orange County’s premier professional company, Backhausdance was founded in 2003 by award-winning choreographer Jennifer Backhaus and is celebrated for bold, original works and dynamic collaborations. This season features the premiere of Multitudes by Jennifer Backhaus and Amanda Kay White, alongside pieces created especially for the Barclay stage by innovative guest artists and composers.

Backhausdance’s talented dancers bring athletic, nuanced movement and sweeping physicality to life, radiating energy beyond the stage to engage and inspire audiences of all ages. Each piece is a vibrant celebration of collaboration, blending movement and music with a deeply human, emotional approach—and often a touch of humor and theatricality.
