Brown University’s Department of Theatre Arts and Performance Studies and Sock & Buskin presents the 2013 “Festival of Dance.” This year’s festival features performances by resident TAPS dance companies: Dance Extension and New Works/World Traditions, as well as the choreography of several visiting scholars from the US and China.
Performances by Dance Extension, created by founding director of dance Julie Adams Strandberg include reprisals of “Ice Images” and “Limon Etude”, as well as the premiere of “Jehovah’s Watch” by Brown alumna Laura Bennett.
“Night Run,” choreographed and performed by members of New Works/World Traditions, an international dance troupe, addresses the most human of compulsions toward both love and violence.
Brown alumna Emily Beattie rounds out the lineup with her piece “Shadowline,” a performance based on the life and death of Beattie’s uncle and his ham radio.
$15 adults, May 2nd through May 5th, 8pm Thursday through Saturday/2pm Sunday, Leeds Theatre, 77 Waterman Street, directions
