Fall Dance Concert

Dance is more than art in motion; it sparks ideas and provokes thought. It guides souls into brave spaces. Witness a large ensemble of dancers – and changemakers – as they channel their energies, culminating with a new contemporary work inspired by the experiences and stories of astronauts by featured guest artist Jessica Chen, a New York-based choreographer, dancer, and educator. She is artistic director of J CHEN PROJECT, a contemporary dance company with a mission to create works that emphasize identity, cultural diversity, and belonging. Faculty choreographers Shannon Stewart, Ashley Brittingham, Marisa Plasencia, and Justin Harbaugh also present work in tap, ballet, modern/contemporary, and flamenco style.
