We invite you to join us on Friday\, April 30 at 8:00 p.m. CST at virtualdance.studio.uiowa.edu to experience these students’ final works in our department.\n\nThe following works will be presented:\n\nYet Another Skin to Shed\n Choreography by Tatum BeynonYet Another Skin to Shed is an abstract on the personal experience of growth and change. Experientially driven\, this piece captures the complex\, confusing\, and chaotic feelings that arise amidst transition\, healing\, and moving on.\n\nSolidarity\n Choreography by Isabella Buscaglia\n Creating this work has been a very special and intimate experience for me. From reflection to research to creation\, each aspect of this piece holds a special place in my heart. Art inspires art and I tried to capture that shared experience in this piece. Chicago is also my home—it’s where I was born\, where I live and where I first fell in love with dance. The city has crafted me into the artist I am today and for that I am so thankful.\n\nisn't she enough\n Choreography by Laren Chang\n\nAs long as I am\n Choreography by Danica Clayton\n This process started at least a year ago with the original concept of breath and how it has served my life by guiding emotions and how it changed my life as I saw new life and death. From there\, I researched the function of breath and types of breath\, as well as improvisation techniques. I used inspiration from scientific research and personal experience as prompts for improvisational movement. The movement was captured on film and translated into choreographed phrases. The piece starts at the end of the breath and ends at the beginning of the breath\, a new beginning.\n\nIn Commune With\n Choreography by Erin EvansIn Commune With is the product of my exploration of how human lived experiences mimic the natural world around us. I spent time learning about dendrochronology\, the study of growth rings in trees\, and used that knowledge to try to discover what the human equivalent of a growth ring is. I believe people\, just like trees\, hold on to events and experiences for their whole lives\, and that shapes the person they are constantly growing into.\n\n100 Days\n Choreography by Sarah McCluskey\n I filmed myself improvising every day\, for 100 days. This served as a mental and physical check-in to process and acknowledge my wellbeing for that day. Movement from each of these videos has been choreographed into five short works\, each displaying how I experienced the five stages of change during the 100 days.\n\nall my love\, Allie\n Choreography by Alexandra Recht\n all my love\, Allie is a work that explores resiliency\, healing\, and hope in the wake of trauma. Here I present to you my full self\, unfiltered\, as I do my best to make something beautiful out of the darkness.\n\nPlease note: The costume in isn't she enough gives the appearance of bare skin.\n\nVisit our Virtual Concert Venue in advance of the performance to learn more about the works\, the choreographers\, and all of the collaborators.\n\nJoin us at virtualdance.studio.uiowa.edu for this free performance.
