“Through Lines” marks a reunion between mentor and mentees at a pivotal location. Seán Curran began dancing at what is now The Dance Complex but was then the Joy of Movement Center, and now teaches at his alma mater, New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Tony Guglietti had Curran as a professor and joined his company after graduation. Guglietti and Kristin Wagner met at the Dance Complex, formed Decent Dance and got married in 2022. With Brian Feigenbaum, “Through Lines” hinges on the ways and spaces where their lives have intersected. “The people creating the work are connected in more ways than the actual work is,” Wagner said. “As cliché as it sounds, this performance at The Dance Complex is a homecoming to a space that means so much to all of us.” Seán Curran Company perform a group piece, “Path”; Decent Dance performs two duets and a group piece inspired by the people they’ve met. “I’m most interested in watching people dance rather than dancers dance,” Guglietti said. “I like being able to see the person when I watch a show, so my choreography highlights our humanity.”
“Through Lines” at 8 p.m. Dec. 6 and 7 p.m. Dec. 7 at The Dance Complex, 536 Massachusetts Ave., Central Square, Cambridge.
