Experimental Performance Series #2
Saturday, December 7, 2024 • 2PM & 7:30PM

Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.

The Experimental Performance Series is a collection of self produced works from undergraduate and graduate students in theatre and dance, ranging from production of established works to brand new plays and choreography.

The Energy Within
Choreographer: Avital Dresin

Exploring the pulse of the 7 Chakras, the centers of power in the human body, The Energy Within reveals the different rhythms of our energy. This piece illustrates the inner landscape of the self by uniting the physical and emotional through movement.
Run Time: 23 minutes

Cradle to Grave
Choreographer: C Macko

Cradle to Grave is a satirical lecture about environmental dance set in a climate future, no less dystopian than popular depictions, but far more mundane. Through a live lecturer, comedic faux interviews, and three original dance pieces, Cradle to Grave explores themes of hypocrisy, anxiety, regret, and guilt and investigates the impact of our environmental advocacy and art making practices.
Run Time: 29 minutes

Delta Blue
Choreographer: Zoe Cushman Walders
The pockets of ocean that reside in each of us drive Delta Blue. Sweeping and settling, the work explores the constant relational, cumulative, depositing and conflating nature of watery relations.
Run Time: 19 minutes
