FEATURED CHOREOGRAPHY:
CRYSTAL YAO — solo excerpt from Belladonna (an evening length duet from Adam Barruch & Chelsea Bonosky) portrays two lovers caught in a retelling of the original sin
EMILY AVERY — solo created in collaboration with Brian Reeder inspired by the electric, instantaneous communication between neurons
TIFFANY MILLER — Fem, inspired by the writings of Judith Butler and Simone de Beauvoir, flirts with ideas of gender, performativity, definition, quotidian femininity, and audience
DANA FESJIAN — Untitled, interdisciplinary project with the theme of “powering the world through dance”
LAUREN WODARSKI — There’s Nothing More Important…, set in Paris at the end of World War II, a series of seven vignettes explore a vast array of choices and moral standpoints by focusing on the sacrifices, priorities, and judgments people make in everyday, mundane moments
CLARE SHERLOG — When Dance Happens, a reflection about what it means to be a dancer incorporating the dancers’ spoken narratives
ERIN BERL – my sanity slipping away, which questions how people decide whether to reveal their struggles or avoid disclosure of their problems
PAIGE SHAW — Going to NYC, excerpt from Princeton University Ballet’s upcoming premiere of The Great Gatsby
MALCOLM LOW — Stable Freedom, a dance created for the ten seniors (8 named above along with Alex Quetell and Naomi Lake)
