Choreography by USM Dance Faculty & Guest Artists
To reclaim - one’s space, one’s movements, one’s environment - is a powerful gesture that requires strength and conviction. To reclaim is also to recover, to reuse, to recycle, or to remake what once was, into something new. Using this theme as inspiration, the USM dance faculty and guest artists have created new contemporary dance works for the Russell Hall Stage.
