The Encounter: Akron, a live physical theater work by Kimberly Bartosik/daela (Brooklyn, NY) featuring a cast of professional, pre-professional, and non-professional performers from Northeast Ohio.

The Encounter: Akron is an expansive performance project created by choreographer/director Kimberly Bartosik. Joined by creative associate Burr Johnson, Bartosik has been creating unique Encounter projects in communities worldwide, exploring intergenerational cross-geographic, global conversation about the ferocious power of the body as a form of communication. The work is an encounter with oneself, pulling from what people currently carry in their bodies—grief, hope, fear, desire, newfound power—pulsing through and between generations.
