Egun Argia

Choreographed by Hunter College Faculty Alberto del Saz for Lecture Demonstration class. A native of Spain, choreographer Alberto del Saz always gives his ballet titles in the Basque language, the Spanish dialect of his region. They were not allowed to speak due to the political regime. Egun Argia, the title of the piece, means "Daylight." Mr. del Saz believes that Dance is an organic, visceral, and the most exhilarating exploration of movement. Relations between bodies, space, and sound often culminate in creating a unique experience for the senses; as dancers, we treasure the ability to lose ourselves in what we call performance. In a performance, the Dancer becomes the Artist, and the Dance becomes Art.

MFA Performance & Presentation - Regina Nejman premieres “BUBBLE,” a dream-like experimental/contemporary dance choreographed and performed by Regina Nejman in which live dance is interlaced with projected animation by Theodore J. Newby and cinematic sound by Luke Santy. BUBBLE explores the capacity for imagination and connection, moving through an increasingly chaotic world.

“Flight of the Inner Bird” is a coming-of-age piece danced by 11 current high school dancers through a series of reflective exercises to create phrase work. The musical score guides itself through excerpts of letters to the younger selves of 11 alumni from the same small-town high school dance program. The piece aims to explore the value in leading with love, learning to forgive, finding one’s truth and living in the present moment to aid in the cultivation of authenticity from the inside out.
