The mission of BYU DancEnsemble is mentoring and producing student contemporary choreography. This season, DancEnsemble turns its focus outward, into the natural world, and asks, “How do God’s creations inform and inspire contemporary choreography?” Eight emerging student choreographers will consider this question as they explore the Wasatch Front alongside faculty from Global Environmental Studies and study latter-day teachings on stewardship. Original student works, along with new works by visiting assistant professor Jocelyn Smith and artistic director Marin Roper will be performed by a company of 25+ dancers. Freshman and sophomore dance majors will also perform a new work by associate professor Keely Song Glenn.
Join us Thursday night for a Q&A with the student choreographers.
Mark Roper, artistic director
