Dance at Illinois: February Dance

Three third-year Dance at Illinois MFA students present their rigorously researched thesis choreography. Marlee Doniff explores the unruly, malleable, and ever-dynamic states of queerness—set within a DIY aesthetic. Hip Hop artist Ethan Rome unpacks nomadism and the East Asian Diaspora in an exploding, cascading athletic ode to spirals. And Chelsea Wahrendorf vivifies the visceral, guttural, and wily phenomenon of memory in a cathartic dance poem.
