Megan Williams Dance Projects (MWDP) will give the World Premiere of Smile, though your heart is aching, choreographed by Megan Williams to music composed by Eve Beglarian, April 5, 6, and 7, 7:30 P.M., at the James and Martha Duffy Performance Space at Mark Morris Dance Center in Brooklyn, New York.

The evening length work is set to Beglarian’s anthology, Machaut in the Machine Age (1986-2024), a series of responses to the secular songs of 14th century composer/poet Guillaume de Machaut. The work features ten dancers accompanied live by six musicians, including Beglarian on vocals, keyboard, and toy piano. Performers include Esmé Julien Boyce, Robert Mark Burke, Réka Echerer, Mary Lyn Graves, Chelsea Enjer Hecht, Justin Lynch, Mykel Marai Nairne, Will Nolan, Michael Bryan Wang, and Williams. Musicians include Beglarian, Tristan Kasten-Krause (bass), Margaret Lancaster (flute), Isabelle O’Connell (piano), Caitlin Cawley (percussion), and Lukas Pappenfusscline (vocals).

Smile, though your heart is aching is funded in part by the The O'Donnell -Green Music and Dance Foundation and the Center for Ballet and the Arts, NYU.
