鈥淲hen so much about the world seems so unlovely, seems in fact unlovable, we need to love more, not less 鈥 we need to love the world harder and better. Our thinking, our writing, and our actions must be born in loving kindness and devoted to truth telling. Kindness matters. Telling the truth matters, . . . 鈥溙- Deborah Jacobs, editor of听Stone Gathering.听

As dance artists we are called to investigate the unprecedented challenges of the past year through the felt experience of the body. These somatic investigations are also 鈥渂orn in loving kindness and devoted to truth telling.鈥 Grief and gratitude, anxiety and relief, despair and hope, all imprinted into our somatic memories, provide the raw materials for our inquiries. This year鈥檚 concert features work by faculty choreographers Sarah Hauss, Jill Patterson, Melissa C. Rolnick and Michele Rusinko, guest choreographers Karla Grotting and Jeffrey Peterson, and students Claire Drapeau '22 and Hannah Saunders '22.
