Please join the Dance Program for Experiments in Dance in the Lang Performing Arts Center.  Experiments in Dance is an end-of-semester showing of works (at various stages of completion) that students and faculty have been developing throughout the semester.  Works are generated from a variety of technical approaches to dance, and present various questions of how to be in the theatrical space.

Performances will begin outside of the entrance to LPAC (in the alley between Kohlberg and LPAC), and continue in the Troy Studio.  The showing will run for approximately 1.5 hours.
