    Unconditional Love - a solo dance performance by Rachel Siegel

    Choreographer Rachel Siegel presents “Unconditional Love.” This feminist dance performance explores eating disorders, patriarchy, capitalism, and racism. It is also a celebration of body liberation, pleasure, dancing alone in the mirror, eating mangoes, and shaking off that which binds us. During a time when body fascism and control is increasingly normalized, this performance is a way to push back through collective feminist resistance in the form of creativity and self love.

Complimentary Ticket Policy

Before each show, Box Office Manager Leeeza Robbins emails everyone in a dance or theatre class so they can order comps in advance. Complimentary tickets are NOT available on the day of the performance.

Everyone enrolled in a dance or theatre class, as well as dance majors, may get a total of one comp ticket for each program-sponsored performance.

If a student is participating in a dance, they can get a total of two tickets.

Tickets are NOT cumulative—each student can receive only up to two tickets per show, no matter their involvement.

The only exception is if the student is doing their senior work; Leeeza will work with the student directly for up to four (4) tickets per performance.

If the student has any questions about the policy, email the Box Office Manager Leeeza Robbins at robbinsl@middlebury.edu.

Middlebury Performing Arts Series

The Dance Department works closely with Middlebury’s Performing Arts Series (PAS), Vermont’s longest-running performance series. In addition to sharing our spaces, PAS brings notable dance artists to campus who often join our classes and interact with our students and faculty.
