Utter Abandon

Utter Abandon Dance Program Concert

May 4 and 5 at 7:30 pm

Abandon: "the urge to let go, freely express with the body, lack of inhibition." Relinquish practical ways of thinking and give in to experimentation. Step out of the box. Take a risk. Faculty and students explore what it means to dance with utter abandon in their end of semester concert.

The evening features the piece "Cage vs. Cunningham" set to John Cage's "Credo in US." Performers include dancers Katie Jennings and DonnaMarieAscolesce and musician Lydia Lucas. All three are 2012 Creativity Award Winners.

Faculty member Meghan McLymans' work will be featured in a solo performance by McLyman and a setting of dances from the Roaring 20's titled "That Fascinating Thing."

Performances are at 7:30 pm in the Mainstage Theatre, 352 Lafayette Street.

Suggested donation at the door.

Take time for art.
