jumatatu m. poe will present “transitions into terrestrial,” sharing images, video, poetics, and movement reflecting on transitions in artmaking and life. Having completed a 10 plus year cycle of research and performance with collaborator Jermone Donte Beacham through the J-Sette focused Let ‘im Move You series, jumatatu is reflecting on the vastness of the voyage, the depth of the lessons on both being, and being with, that sprang forth from that intimately collaborative series of processes.

Inner Landscapes is a performance practice developed by Assistant Professor of Dance Laurel Jenkins and Nives Sertic, a projection artist based in Croatia. Middlebury College’s New Directions Spring Arts Festival will present the second iteration of this work which began when Sertic and Jenkins met as artists-in-residence last year at Cite des International Arts in Paris, France. This intimate work submerges the body in worlds of color. Original sound is played live by Matthew Evan Taylor and costumes are by Mac Melrose.

Before each show, Debby Anderson 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; Debby will work with the student directly for up to four (4) tickets per performance.
If the student has any questions about the policy, email Debby Anderson at danderso@middlebury.edu.
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.
