Fall Dance Concert

Bodies of Text

The University Dance Company presents its semiannual repertoire concert featuring choreography by KU faculty including a new face in our department, Tristian Griffin, assistant professor of the practice. Ballet, modern/contemporary, and hip hop works all explore the fascinating, fun, and complex ways that bodies and texts align, collide, and work together. We hope you'll join us for the first in-person dance concert of KU’s pre-professional dance company since Fall 2019.
