Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, SALT Contemporary Dance celebrates progression and upward evolution in dance. SALT showcases emerging voices in the field by engaging with rising choreographers from around the world to create original works with a company of classically-trained, artistically-versatile dancers. Through their outreach program, `Creative Escape`, the company teaches the next generation about mental health and physical wellness through movement. SALT shares these innovative works through concerts, master classes, festivals, and workshops to elevate the cultural vibrancy and diversity of their local community, as well as nationally.

The Bridge
Commissioned by UtahPresents, this evening length historical work features an original score and turns Ambrose Bierce`s `An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge` into a riveting dance adaptation with universal appeal.

"The Bridge is more than a dance performance, more than a concert. It is a powerful story reimagined through dance and music that speaks to the universal human experience of love and loss." -Brooke Horejsi, UtahPresents
