February 22-24 // 7:30 PM
Space Place Theater

Join us for an interactive program of dance and dialogue with the UI Dance Company at Space Place. In their 2023-24 season the company has focused on adaptability & accessibility, resulting in an evening of four works. "Winning" by Artistic Director Stephanie Miracle is a piece that playfully dips and dives, forms and dissolves in questions of why we compete, how we play games, when teamwork works, and what we are connected to. Also presented on the bill are new works by guest Choreographer Aaron Samuel Davis and Professor Christopher McMillian, as well as a piece reflecting on the process of embodying Martha Graham’s iconic Panorama.  

All performances will include open and closed Audio Description. Friday's performance will also include ASL interpretation.
