Spring M.F.A. Dance Thesis Concert
ABOUT THE EVENT
The Spring M.F.A Dance Thesis Concert showcases stunning and provocative choreography by M.F.A. candidates Kevin Clark, Mher Kandoyan and Kae Lawrence in the UMD School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies.
Kevin's piece, “Hologram,” integrates projection of real-time motion capture by performers on stage into the gaming platform Unity to explore surveillance technologies and identity in the digital space
Inspired by his experiences as an Armenian and Lebanese artist, Mher's piece, “Journey,” delves into the interplay of joy and trauma, exploring themes of reclamation, resilience, healing and survival.
Kae's piece “In Search of Our Grandmothers' Gardens”, inspired by Alice Walker’s book, "In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens”, encapsulates the identities and endurance of Black women.
