SUMMARY:Performance:“Changing Channels” – MFA Thesis Dance Concert by Lauren Blair Smith
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Dance proudly presents *Changing Channels*\, an innovative and original dance thesis concert directed and choreographed by Master of Fine Arts in Dance candidate Lauren Blair Smith. Performances will be held on September 18 and 19 at 7:30pm.\n\nAdmission to the event is free. Tickets will be available at the door starting one hour prior to each show\, with doors opening 30 minutes before showtime each night.\n\n*Changing Channels* explores the psychological and physical experience of code-switching through a dynamic blend of contemporary choreography\, original music production by Singaporean producer Alif Aircho\, and multimedia elements. Using the metaphor of switching television channels\, this performance navigates different emotional states\, societal expectations\, and the complex journey of identity.\n\n*Changing Channels* is supported in part through the EXCEL Enterprise Fund\, SMTD Wellness Program\, Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives\, and William Braddan McClellan\, Jr. Fund in Dance. This concert is being held in partial fulfillment of the Master of Fine Arts in Dance degree requirements.\n\nABOUT THE ARTIST\n\nLAUREN BLAIR SMITH (Director & Choreographer) is a professional performing artist\, producer\, choreographer\, and the very proud founder and artistic director of Lauren Blair Smith Dance Company in Singapore where she mentors\, assists\, and\, most importantly\, participates in the development and joy of young aspiring artists.
