Spectral Heartbeats: Dance Concert
NOV 21 - 22 // SAT @ 6:00PM CST, SUN @ 2:00PM CST
Simultaneously virtual and corporeal, Loyola dancers traverse a creative landscape uncharted in a digital domain. Our programming features Anna Sokolow’s iconic study in isolation, Rooms, as well as a new film commission for Dance faculty member Sarah Fuller with filmmaker Talia Koylass. In addition to a new experimental work by student Masha Bandouil, we will present a digital version of the “Friends Dance” from Coppelia under the direction of Raul Casasola from the Joffrey Ballet. Presenting Coppelia choreographed in 1870 and Rooms in 1955, this program features classic works along with groundbreaking exploration and invention.
