Exit 12 Dance Company
Film screening, Q & A and 60 minute movement workshop, in collaboration with WNMU Department of Veterans Affairs
After two tours in Fallujah during the Iraq War, US Marine and Combat Veteran Roman Baca came home ravaged with depression, anxiety, and anger. With few places to turn, Roman went back to his first passion, ballet, as a way to cope and discovered that through dance he was able to “reprogram” himself and begin to heal.
This inspired Roman to start Exit 12 a New York-based dance company led by Veterans and military families. Through dance and choreography, Exit 12 tells stories about the effects of war both to heal themselves and also to change the perceptions and stereotypes of the Veteran community.

Among those who marched up College Avenue on Saturday morning in the inaugural WNMU Remembrance March are university President Joseph Shepard, and Lt. Gov. Howie Morales and his brother, Marvin Morales, who holds a photo of their late father, Henry Morales.
About a month ago, Jason Quimby, who serves as veterans affairs manager at Western New Mexico University, learned that the Bataan Memorial Death March, normally held in March at White Sands Missile Range, was going to take place virtually for a second consecutive year and he wanted to do something to offer marchers an opportunity for an in-person event.
