These works highlight the collaborative efforts of the facu lty\, students\, and guest artists.\n\nThe new work by ShaLeigh Comerford\, “their hands\, reaching” explores the desire of breaking hive mentality wh ile navigating the desire to retreat into belonging. Each dancer is a compl etely unique person bumping up against the cultural\, societal\, and famili al conditioning that limits us -and simultaneously grows us - while we navi gate it. Through the work\, the dancers are carving their way towards their own vulnerability and the courage to share their humanness.\n\n“Transit” i s an original repertory work of Take Root\, premiering in 2015 at the Detro it Dance City Festival. Ali Woerner is the Founder and Artistic Director of Take Root\, professional company-in-residence at Oakland University where she is Associate Professor of Dance. The piece is set to an original score created by Jon Anderson\,Take Root Musical Director\n\nAnthony Alterio’s ne w work\, “Factory Reset\,” comes with a warning: WARNING! Performances of F actory Reset will attempt to restore audience members to their original sys tem state by erasing all data\, settings\, and applications that may have b een corrupted from viewing and/or experiencing past dance experiences. Whil e a Factory Reset can seem like a complete start over\, it's an effective w ay for both the performer and viewer to fix persistent bugs\, get rid of un wanted apps and dangerous malware\, and free up storage space in the body a nd mind. The main need\, however\, is often to fix an issue\, but it could also be done to restore yourself to its original settings. There is no spec ific frequency limit to how often you can perform\, view\, or experience a Factory Reset. \n\n“Umber Glow” is Katherine G. Moore’s new work that look s to what takes shape within encroaching darkness. Performers traverse the space as players in a changing ecosystem\, navigating transformations from creature to human and back again— what is decomposing/breaking/falling apar t is always simultaneously coming together. As the ensemble performs phrase s\, improvisations\, and movement rituals\, they evoke images and energies of physical resilience within a murky landscape.\n\nTravis D. Gatling’s new work is titled\, “…To the Bone.” This work is inspired by the quote\, “Be auty is only skin deep\, but ugly goes clean to the bone\,” by American poe t and writer Dorothy Parker. It reflects the subtle and sometimes aggressiv e means by which we try to define our beauty and defend our identity.\n\n“t he willow’s branches” is the new work by Christi Camper Moore. This piece i s an exploration of flow\, connection\, and the ways these can lead us to e xpand our capacities for attention\, articulation\, and grace. The dancers explore musicality alongside embodied images of the majestic weeping willow \, its strength\, comfort\, and shelter from the surrounding landscape.The piece is set to the music of award-winning Italian composer and conductor\, Ezio Bosso.\n\nTickets are $18 for general admission and are available onl ine here. \n\nAdmission is free to OHIO University students with a valid st udent ID\, thanks to Arts for OHIO. Tickets are available at the door befor e the performance begins.\n\nFor more information\, contact the School of D ance at 740.593.1826 or dance@ohio.edu.
