Spring Forward 2024Original Dance Making by UCR Choreography Students“Tracing Past/Present/Futurity” is the synthesis of inquiry on collective memory and time/space ecology. Students present original works that transcend “process and product” to activate a state of being of a simultaneous past/present/future. Throughout its development, we move through the following questions: How can dance-making be a method of transcending time/space? How can the dance-making body be a conduit for transcribing traces of the past/present/future? How does one activate their embodied sensibilities to approach inquiry?
