Nicole Zizzi and Lisa Giancola celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their Evolve Dynamicz this year.

“Vive10” celebrates a decade of Evolve Dynamicz’s airy and expansive choreography in a way revealing of the passage of time: “Both of our artistic directors recently had babies, so we are making this event very kid friendly,” rehearsal director Ava Majumder said. That includes livestreaming performances to a studio with creative movement prompts for children. “Nicole Zizzi does a really good job of taking barriers or things going on in her life and figuring out how to make Evolve a space where that isn’t a barrier,” Majumder said of one of those directors – but this kind of pivot is natural for Evolve, founded in 2015 by Zizzi and Lisa Giancola of two subcompanies: Evolve Repertoire, for dancers who prefer set choreography, and Improv Dynamicz. This performance brings them together, using new and older pieces; interspersed solos include one by alum Caitlin Peeler. As to the kids, “Evolve is a place to create space, and having a place for kids is a component of that,” Zizzi said.

“Vive 10” at 7 p.m. Nov. 1 and 5:30 p.m. Nov. 2 at The Dance Complex, 536 Massachusetts Ave., Central Square, Cambridge. $34.
