UA Dance’s ‘Premium Blend’ offers Lang US debut, Balanchine work

November 12, 2019

By Gerald M. Gay Arizona Daily Star | Nov 7, 2019

A dance created by choreographer Jessica Lang for the National Ballet of Japan in 2014 will make its stateside debut at the University of Arizona’s Stevie Eller Dance Theatre next Wednesday as part of its “Premium Blend” program.

“Escaping the Weight of Darkness” finds dancers moving in the dark amid sculptural lanterns, “left to navigate a great divide,” according to UA press materials.

UArizona dance students gracefully find path back on stage during pandemic

kvoa.com

But how does such a physical artform survive in a pandemic when your stage, your canvass shuts down and your workspace becomes your living room via Zoom?

Junito muchas bendiciones para ti

Today the University of Arizona Office of the Provost issued a statement condemning the violence in Georgia earlier this week that left eight dead, most of the victims women and Asian American. This is only the most visible and latest example in the sharp and deplorable rise in discrimination, violence and hate against individuals in the Asian American and Pacific Islander community over the past year.

>> azart.fyi/ProvostsStatement

Anti-Asian and gender-based violence and discrimination are intolerable and must stop.

The Arizona Arts family stands in solidarity with our University in condemning violence of any kind, and we stand in solidarity with the Asian American Pacific Islander community.

The University is committed to providing resources to address anti-Asian violence, xenophobia, and gender-based violence on our campus. The Provost’s message includes valuable resources to support our Asian American and Pacific Islander community and our entire campus community. I urge you to review these resources, and if you are a faculty member, to share them with your students.

>> azart.fyi/UnivCoreValues

As we continue to find ways to live the university’s core values of compassion and inclusion, please take time to extend your solidarity to our Asian, Pacific Islander, and Asian American students, staff, faculty, and other community members.

Sincerely,

Andrew Schulz
Vice President for the Arts
Dean, College of Fine Arts ... See MoreSee Less
