In 2022 Shaina and Bryan launched Detroit Dance Theatre (DDT), a collaborative performance project that connects artists of diverse dance, performance, and life practices to collaborate on original long form work.
Detroit Dance Theatre's debut production, Devil's Shoestring, is a collaboration between Jerwaun 'Renegade' Suddun, Antonio 'King FL3X' Heath Jr, Roydell 'Bam Bam' Shannon Jr, Orlando Hunter Jr, Ricarrdo Valentine, Jessica Rajko, Shaina Baira and Bryan Baira. This group of artists came together for 5 intensive days to share and collaborate with their respective forms of Krump, Afro-Contemporary Dance, Vibro-Tactile set/installation and Physical Dance Theatre.
Check out the DDT website for more information about the ititiative and the artists involved:
Devil's Shoestring is made possible by The Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts. This project is also supported through a production residency at the The Andy and is made possible through generous support from the Rise and Shine Fund and The Foundation for Southeast Michigan.
