Place(d)

Choreography by MFA candidate Ryan Chrisman

Lee Hinkle
Kyle Johnson

Enter an environment where dancers and musicians unite in movement and sound, and where, above all, place is an indicator for creation. Located outside the dance department in the dance courtyard, Place(d) is a site-specific work that investigates the interplay between what currently exists in the natural space and what is not there every day. The audience is encouraged to move around the perimeter of the space to view the work from varied perspectives. Following each performance, a short film based on the process behind Place(d) will be shown in Studio 1912.

This performance takes place in the Dance Courtyard of the Dance Department. Space is limited. Seating is available for mobility impaired patrons.

Tickets $20
