Department of Theatre, Drama, and Contemporary Dance

Faculty Dance: Body to Body, an investigation into the power of dance passed through humanity, body to body. Dancers learning from their elders are the lineage holders and carriers of embodied wisdom and unmediated somatic knowledge. Featuring guest artists Maxine Montilus, Afro-Haitian contemporary dance maker based in NYC, and Ishmael Konney, Ghanaian Folklore and contemporary dance maker at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Both guests will collaborate with composers to create original scores for their dances. Also featuring new dances by department dance faculty and performed by IU Contemporary Dance Theatre members, the BFA dance majors.
