Madelyn Caviness\, Grac e Cooper\, Kailee Davis\, Thomas Grassia\, and Sierra La Rue encapsulate d istinct perspectives on our racing world. We invite you to join us in cele brating the work and dedication of these graduating seniors.\n\nFeatured C horeographers \n\n\n\nMadelyn Caviness \n\n\n\nMadelyn Caviness’ work explores the process of finding an internal safe place for processing\, r ejuvenation\, and self-discovery. It highlights the chaos of life\, and th e contrasting experience of finding moments of peace among uncertainty.  \n \;\n\n\n\nGrace Cooper  \n\n\n\nTaking excerpts from Sophie Tread well’s 1928 play Machinal\, Grace Cooper’s choreography draws this h istorical play and its themes into the present\, ultimately asking: what d oes it mean to be a woman in a mechanized world? Probing questions about a utonomy\, identity\, and legacy resound in her work depicting a distorted and dystopian world that we recognize as our own.  \n\n\n\n\nKailee Davi s \n\n\n\nKailee Davis’ piece explores the concept of Othering. It dive s into existential questions often asked: Who Others? How does it feel to be Othered – to be seen as different in a fundamental or meaningless w ay? What happens when we Other ourselves? Davis\, in collaboration with the dancers\, explores this concept through highly athletic movement wit h the goal of leaving the audience questioning. \n\n\n\n\nThomas Grassia  \n\n\n\nThomas Grassia’s piece explores how we chase our dreams. How do we comfort ourselves and stay motivated? What holds us back? His solo contemplates how dance can be distilled to present partial views of cho reography through silhouettes and shapes\, as we present a partial image of ourselves to those around us. \n\n\n\n\nSierra La Rue \n\n\n\nThis wo rk represents the dreams and challenges of pursuing a career in the enter tainment industry. Sierra La Rue’s piece\, in four sections\, encapsula tes her current experiences\, as well as the life she aspires to achieve.  Her choreography reveals the vulnerability and tenacity of performing a rtists. \n\n\n \;\n\nConcert programs are available in a virtual form at only and may be viewed via a QR code at the performance when available.
