Zaccho Dance Theatre Presents

Return to Forever

Inspired by Artistic Director Joanna Haigood’s rediscovery of a handwritten song log from her teenage years as a radio disc jockey, Return to Forever is a meditation on time, memory, and the enduring presence of Zaccho Studio's history of work. 


The music, drawn from Haigood’s 1975 playlist of iconic American artists such as Billie Holiday and Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, serves as an emotional bridge between youth and elderhood, recalling moments of joy, curiosity, and creative awakening.
