EE Collaboration with Sepiatonic Dancers - Somerville Theater

"The event is called "Bridge The Gap", and it is being presented by the music and dance project, Sepiatonic. Sepiatonic is a live and electronic music project, with live circus and dance acts set to our own original music. It's a very dynamic dance party and show in one!
This show "Bridge The Gap" is slightly different from our normal club-style shows, since it is a sit-down theater show, with an emphasis on uniting diverse styles of dance in a cross-genre extravaganza!"
