In accordance with the Unversity-wide measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, this performance has been canceled.

Performances featuring new work by the 2019-20 Daring Dances Student Fellows: Ambiance Dance, Arabesque Dance Troupe, Iraqi Student Association, and the Queer Arts Collective. Centered in the southeastern region of Michigan, Daring Dances embraces how dance, through art-making and spectatorship, invites us into difficult conversations—conversations among those with whom we share identities and values and conversations across differences. As racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia proliferate in public space and public policy in our current moment, Daring Dances supports emerging new work by choreographers based in the Midwest, encouraging students at the University of Michigan making dance related to social justice, and conducting “Experiments in Coalition,” community engagement work that brings together communities around dance performance making and viewing.
