Within the Canyons - Cello & Dance Collaboration

Experience an immersive 270-degree performance that merges music, video, and dance to capture the sounds, textures, and movement of Southern Utah's slot canyons. This interdisciplinary collaboration between Dance, Music, Media Arts, and Environmental Studies explores how these mediums intersect, document, and redefine artistic expression in nature. Featuring original compositions by Kevin Anthony, Raven Chacon, and Kurt Rohde, with a video installation by McCall McClellan, this production is directed and produced by Michelle Kesler (cello) and Keely Song (dance) and showcases students from the BYU School of Music and Department of Dance. This collaboration is made possible through the generous support of The Laycock Endowment for Creative Collaboration in the Arts College of Fine Arts and Communications Brigham Young University, The BYU Department of Dance, and the BYU School of Music.
