Please join us for BORDERS: SPRING DANCE CONCERT, the culmination of a year-long exploration by the Dance Department into the complex nature of borderlands. Borders marks a unique merging of St. Olaf’s two distinct dance ensembles: Companydance, with its focus on a diverse range of contemporary explorations, and the Veselica International Dance Ensemble, which brings the rich traditions and global perspectives of folk and character dance. This collaboration showcases the broad range and diversity of the St. Olaf College Dance Department, highlighting the beautiful friction and unexpected harmony that arise when different styles collide.
Featuring physically compelling, visually captivating, aurally stirring, and thought-provoking choreography by faculty members Dr. Andrea Conger, Brian J. Evans, and Heather Klopchin, guest artists Kaleena Miller and Jake Nehrbass and by current St. Olaf students Ivy Andreson, Maggie Doran, Delaney Dresser, Rel Edwards, Maya Fonseca-Jersild, Hailey Frank, Z Johnson, Mickenson Sanon, and Mary Staplin.
