The Contemporary Dance Concert has 3 more shows left after our sold out opening night!

Photos 1-3 from “Palimpsest” choreographed by Isabella Ladine— “Palimpsest” explores the theme of emotional growing pains and navigates what it means to exist in every age you have ever been.

Photos 4-6 from “Streetlight” choreographed by Dylan Shube— “Streetlight” is a tap improvisational score that explores my internal world of feeling disappointed with where I’m in life in relation to the aspirations I have for myself.

Tickets can be purchased at CSULB.edu/dance or link in linktree.

April 23-25 at 8pm with a 2pm matinee on Saturday at the Martha B. Knoebel Damce Theater.

The CSULB Contemporary Dance Concert opens tomorrow (4/23)!

Photos 1-3 from “Broadcast” choreographed by Elisa Murray— “Broadcast” is a psychologically driven narrative that confronts propaganda and manipulated media through a theatrical lens. Using fictional world building and animated design, this piece takes you on a horrifying but whimsical journey.

Photos 4-6 from “You” choreographed by Maya Sabbah— “You” exposes the aftermath effects of the soul becoming fragmented, displayed through the performers’ embodiment of a fragmented itself, blaming the external for internal circumstances whilst the truth of self is suppressed in an experience of conflict to abandon the ego manufactured in physical reality.

April 23-25 at 8pm and a 2pm matinee on Saturday at the Martha B. Knoebel Dance Theater.

Tickets on CSULB.edu/dance or in bio.
