Dance, Dance...Otherwise We Are Lost

Thursday, April 24th | 4:00 - 5:40pm
CORE 301
Free, No Registration Necessary

A gathering to celebrate inclusive dance at CSU East Bay.

Please join the Wandering Ensemble, Professor Eric Kupers, and a diverse sampling of dance groups from the CSUEB community for an introduction to many of the ways that students, alumni, and community members are using dance as a vehicle for connection, expression, healing, and empowerment.

The Wandering Ensemble came together in 2020 to embark on a radically experimental creation process, set to take place over 40 years. We wanted to explore new ways of thinking about creativity, collaboration, time, performance, and community engagement in this era of rapid change.

At this gathering we will share some of what we've discovered so far (5 years into the 40-year process) as well as welcome dance groups and individual artists working in many different ways to share their approach and some of their work.

More information, please email Eric Kupers at: eric.kupers@csueastbay.edu or visit https://www.dandeliondancetheater.org/wandering-in-the-wilderness/
