MFA Dance Thesis I - The Underground, a dance performance directed by Marcos Duran
The Underground. Inspired by a surrealistic novel in collage by Max Ernst, Une Semaine De Bonté ou Les Sept Éléments Capitaux (A Week of Kindness or The Seven Deadly Elements), the bizarre, interwoven narratives of Haruki Murakami's novels, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and The End of the World and Kafka on the Shore, and Jean Renoir's 1939 cinematic French social satire La Règle du Jeu (The Rules of the Game), this performance will seek to create worlds within worlds of physical and emotional expression.
Sheila & Hughes Potiker Theatre
MFA Dance Thesis II- An Object Screaming, a dance performance directed by Paulina Colmenares
An Object, Screaming is a dance performance that originates in a prolonged meditation on the epistemic and spiritual nature of the creative act. Through the exploration of opposites it seeks to reach emptiness through excess, highlighting simplicity and pristine affect.

Much Ado About Nothing - by WIlliam Shakespeare
directed by Will Jones
Much Ado is a play about the lies we tell each other. The little white lies we tell to help a friend, the lies we tell to get what we want, or the lies we tell ourselves to make life a little brighter. In the same way, one of the greatest gifts that theatre has to offer an audience is the ability to imagine the world differently through storytelling. And what is a story but a lie we agree to believe temporarily? This production interweaves the stories the characters tell in the play with the stories the actors tell on stage in order to embrace the idea that, the fact that its fiction doesnt make it any less true.

directed by Sean Graney
2020 is a presidential election year. What better way to celebrate our right to vote by looking at all the men we chose to occupy the highest office of our land. Created by the Neo-Futurists in Chicago, this huge-cast, fast-paced, hysterical, informational cabaret races to show a few minute summary of each U.S. President in those glorious 231 years.
