2023-24 Season

---

The 2023 Princeton Dance Festival features new and repertory works by nationally and internationally recognized choreographers, performed by more than 50 Princeton dance students. The program includes choreography by Brian Brooks, Amy Hall Garner, Bill T. Jones staged by Catherine Cabeen, Ishita Mili, Shamel Pitts, and Donna Uchizono.

Timelapse is an evening of two distinctive dance works by Princeton seniors Olivia Buckhorn and Ethan Luk. The pieces explore non-linear modes of temporality, the fissures between internal and external landscapes, and the role of the community within the construction of chronology. Free tickets required.

i, heresy, a new dance work by Princeton senior Storm Stokes, speaks to the ontology of the Black spirit ‘in liberation’ from the oppressive constrictions of colonial religious traditions. Combining dynamic and percussive movement, body casting, and projection, Stokes’ capstone work captures a critical discourse between the residue of white supremacist religious ‘rights’ and Black femme and queer wayward ‘wrongs’ within the site of the contemporary (Gen Z) Black believer. Free tickets required.

The 2024 Spring Dance Festival features new choreographic works in contemporary Chinese dance, ballet, hip-hop, and contemporary dance, some created by senior dancers and other new works featuring seniors. Free tickets required.

Apertures is an evening of two distinctive dance works by Princeton seniors Mei Geller '24 and Jasmine Rivers '24. The works question ideas of (in)visibility and imagine alternative openings beyond dichotomous structures of control. Free tickets required.
