I love this so much!!! Wish I could see it!

Autumn you have so much passion for what you do and it always shines through your choreography. I’m grateful I had the opportunity to work with you in college. Thank you and the professors at UofA for boosting male dancers up to be all they can be. And thank you for all you do for the dance community in general, as well.

Awesome

Last spring, UA Dance faculty member Melissa Lowe and Kanji Segawa of Alvin Ailey had a conversation about Jessica Lang’s “Among The Stars,” which was performed by the UA Dance Ensemble last season. We are thrilled to welcome Kanji back this fall to stage another one of Lang's masterworks, “Escaping the Weight of Darkness,” which will be featured in our concert series Premium Blend Nov. 13-17.

I feel such gratitude for the UA Dance faculty for bringing in such thoughtful repertoire for their dancers! I can’t wait to see Premiere Blend next month. Congratulations Delphine Chang and Azelle Chang and to every one (dancers and patrons alike)who are lucky enough to be exposed to such beautiful works.
