In a world that seemingly fragments people and ideas into small components, this dance production reflects on the relation of parts to the whole. Our foundational interdependence on each other in society and on the health of our natural world provide living examples of connectivity. Essential to dance, a living tradition passes technique and choreography from body to body and depends on the wisdom of the past informing the present. Whether demonstrating kinetic synchronization or building on the experience of artists who developed dance traditions, we present this concert as an inspired model of interdepen/Dance.
This program features José Limón’s Choreographic Offering, his stunning tribute to the dance master and Chicago native, Doris Humphrey, as well as choreography by guest artist, Tracey Franklin. Including original work by Amy Michelle Wilkinson, Raúl Díaz Maroto Casasola and Kara Hoag, Interdepen/Dance engages our faculty and student artistry celebrating wholeness and interconnectivity.
