Choreography II students have been excavating, experimenting, improvising, and building movement studies together and individually throughout this year.  This year has been a challenge, but with these challenges, we have found creativity and connection.  We have found that we are resilient, we are passionate, we are movers, we are artists, we are improvisers, we are storytellers, we are human. Students will be performing a collection of work they have been cultivating throughout the semester. Elizabeth Riga, instructor.
