A World Beyond is a showcase organized and produced by Arts In Color, a student organization within the Department of Dance. The performance includes original choreography by current dance majors and is focused on “world-making,” a powerful tool used in arts activism that encourages people to imagine and hope for a better reality. The dance works address topics ranging from queer community-building to the visibility of labor and more.

Choreographers include Victoria Briones, Shea Carponter-Broderick, Cailin Ferguson, Kayla Fiore, Stephanie Gennusa, Kristin Hanson, Rose Janusiak, Johanna Kepler, Shannon Nulf, Lexi Rosenstrauch, Annelise Senkowski, Emily Van Duinen, and Florence Woo.

This event is supported in part by the Meta Weiser EXCEL Fund, Center for World Performance Studies, the SMTD Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, the Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs, and Arts at Michigan.
