Long Gone

Visiting Lecturer in Dance Lida Winfield and alumna Ellen Smith Ahern ’05 have been collaborating since 2010. In this lecture/demonstration, they show excerpts of Long Gone, a duet which weaves dance and spoken word to celebrate heartfelt, funny, and irreverent memories of those long gone, and explores how our dead continue to live and evolve through memory and imagination. Passionate about making dance an open dialogue between performers and audiences, Ahearn and Winfield discuss their creative process, welcome questions, and perform excerpts.
