Dance

This dance performance event features three original works by UVM Professor Paul Besaw, in collaboration with an amazing team of musicians and dancers: Julian Barnett, Clare Byrne, Julie Peoples-Clark, Hye-Won Hwang, Matt LaRocca, D. Thomas Toner, Avi Waring, and Willow Wonder.

The works: To the Earth, The Un-Earthers, and Groundlings fit loosely together in an exploration of the macro and the micro of life on Earth – the beauty and wonder of the planet, the trials and obstacles of so many of its people, and individual day-to-day challenges and triumphs.
