New Theatrical Work to Honor Wounded Warriors Ohio Dance Theatre Creates Multi-Media Ballet for Families of Veterans with PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury

Ohio Dance Theatre premieres new work entitled Blood Stripe in April 2015 as part of Cleveland Public Theatre’s DanceWorks’ 15 series. The dance in 4 scenes is inspired by and created to tell the story of an OIF/OEF Marine and his family, and is a memorial to those who came before and are still to follow. The name of the piece comes from Marine jargon that references the red band on dress uniform trousers worn by officers and NCO’s symbolizing blood shed by marines in war. - November 18, 2014
