Over the past two years, three Master of Fine Art (MFA) in Dance students poured their hearts and souls into choreographing and bringing their artistic visions to life. Finally, on March 22 and 23, their dedication culminated in a mesmerizing performance at Edison Theater for the seventh annual MFA Student Dance Concert.
“WUDT’sNEXT” will take place in Edison Theatre Dec. 1-3. The evening-length performance will feature original works by visiting choreographers Leslie Cuyjet and Mike Esperanza and Washington University in St. Louis faculty choreographers Antonio Douthit-Boyd, Elinor Harrison and David Marchant.
Elinor Harrison, a postdoctoral fellow in physical therapy and in dance, will present a new duet choreographed for twin dance majors Ali and Juli Yaniza as part of “This is Temporary,” the 2022 WashU Dance Theatre concert.
In “The Dust,” Taiwanese playwright Hsu Yen Ling combines six short, genre-bending scenes that together explore “the instant of explosion.” From Nov. 17-20, the Performing Arts Department in Arts & Sciences will present the U.S. premiere of “The Dust,” in a new translation by alumna Annelise Finegan.
