Hope is…

Hope is…celebrates the many meanings of this enduring human quality.  Created collaboratively by dancestrella students and faculty, this production features two Practicum dances. Through It All, a duet by Bryana Moller, chronicles the relationship of two friends as one survives cancer. Lost at Dusk, a quartet by Alejandra Lara, captures the interior struggle to find one’s moral compass.  Residential Dance Faculty and Artistic Director Janaea Lyn McAlee,  choreographed When the need arises She becomes a well, a group meditation on exodus and renewal. Adjunct faculty member Nancy Happel contributed a compelling video which connects the production into a cohesive theatrical experience which is dedicated to Dr. Bryan K. Tippett.
