occurring on-stage. McKinleys Quickly Standing Still addresses internal and external moments of chaos; athletic movement is accompanied by video projections of the dancers and urban city streets that sweep the audience into the pandemonium of life. Stevens Sea Art Move is a meditation on stunning sea glass sculptures created by artist Jonathan Fuller, brought to life through the dancers full-bodied movement exploration.

Other pieces to be presented include Tonia Boies senior project work Ticklish, inspired by the moment a dancer submerges herself into new movement; Sami L.A. Akunas piece Add Continuum, which explores true essence buried deep within; and The Demons Pound, Kele Roberts play on notions of ghouls and flesh. In addition to the on-stage performances, the concert will include experimental video installation work created by graduate students Ruby MacDougall, Angela Haugejorden, and Meghen L. McKinley.
