Power Play

Event Overview

Location

Hearst Dance Theater, Lewis Arts complex

Admission

FREE; open to University community

Princeton senior Julie Shin’s Power Play employs the audience/performer relationship as a mechanism for exploring the realities of power and pressure between women and society. Asking both the performer and viewer to consider the extent of their control over the environment, the piece is an intimate look at the nuances of ownership when subjected to the gaze.

The cast of student dancers includes Haley Baird-Dibble ’24, Uanne Chang ’24, Natalia Lalin ’24, Jasmine Rivers ’24, Camryn Stafford ’23 and Emma Wang ’23.
