US is the culmination of three years of work by Princeton dance senior Jared Harbour. Featuring a live rock music score and performed by Princeton students, this piece examines the family unit through the lens of personal experience and broader archetypes. Exploring themes such as neglect, masculinity, abusive behaviors, and reconciliation, US seeks to reveal, challenge, and reframe traditional family dynamics. The intersection of color, sound, and movement provide an immersive audience experience that will invite the viewer into the performance landscape.
The cast of student dancers includes Naomi Benenson ’23, Aaron Hilton ’23, Mei Geller ’24, Jared Harbour ’22, Haley Baird-Dibble ’24, Olivia Buckhorn ’24, Fabiola Corral ’22, Michael Garcia ’24, Elizabeth Leitner ’22, Leah Emanuel ’23, Elena Every ’25, Sara Schwartz ’23, Vivian Li ’24 and Camryn Stafford ’23.
