"Continuously Rich: Dance Revolutions 2010" is an engaging presentation
of three distinct dance pieces. It features the work of black women
choreographers working from different contexts, aesthetics and thematic
foci whose work comments on any stereotypical notions of what "black dance"
might be. University Dance students will perform a restaging of Jawole
Willa Jo Zollar's masterwork, "Walking with Pearl...Southern
Diaries," supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
Students will also perform a re-envisioned version of Nora Chipaumire's
work, "Dark Swan," and a remounting of the piece, "A Sense of
Place," by choreographer, Makeda Thomas.
It will run December 10 - 12, 2010. For more information you can visit our
