Tabula Rasa

Nov. 20, 21, & 22 7:30pm Marriott Center for Dance, University of Utah




For the last year I have been working with my friend Monica Campbell as a part of her graduate thesis piece for the Modern Dance Dept at the University of Utah. I and 5 other (amazing dancers) have rehearsed for countless hours, for 52 weeks, and it all comes together this weekend.

Tabula Rasa, is a piece about 9-11. It is about the shock, collapse, the rebuild and the individual experience inside of such tragic event. The piece is a collaboration between Monica and her friend Evan Ritter (who is working on his masters degree in lighting and set design at the University of Washington). It is well choreographed as well as amazingly complimented with lighting and set pieces.

Other graduates will be showing there works also this night, ours piece is the last in the program, so even if you can't make it there on time, you could still make it to see this piece (which in my option is the best in the show).

Hope to see you there!
