Jin-Wen Yu Dance and UW–Madison’s Dance Department are presenting “Page,” an evening of thought-provoking and visually stimulating contemporary dance.
Shows run Sept. 12-14 at Lathrop Hall’s Margaret H’Doubler Performance Space.
This concert features Yu’s choreography spanning from 2016 to the present, including works that have been performed nationally and internationally at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland, in New York at the DUMBO Dance Festival, American Dance Guild, and the SoloDuo Dance Festival, and at the Asia-Pacific Dance Festival in Honolulu, Hawaii. Yu is a professor with the School of Education’s Dance Department.
The concert will include performances by Yun-Chen Liu, principal dancer, Jin-Wen Yu Dance, as well as talented emerging artists Caroline Criste, Elisa Hildner, Julianna Hom, Lauren John, Dianne Kotsonis, Nicolette Meunier, Joseph Rockman, Jessica Robling, Bailey Seymour, and Sam Welbel.
The first half of the concert will feature sections of Yu’s previous ensemble and solo works including a quartet titled “Paging into the Realm of Imagination,” and the solo “Letters of a Traveler.” The second half features Yu’s new choreography, which addresses perspectives on aging, identity, and social conflict.
Performances will be held Sept. 12 and 13 at 8 p.m., and Sept. 14 at 2:30 p.m. in the Margaret H’Doubler Performance Space, Lathrop Hall.
Tickets are $22 for the general public and $16 for students and seniors; they can be purchased online via this link, in person at the Campus Arts Box Office, or by phone at 608-265-2787. Remaining tickets will be available at the door starting one hour before the performance.
Following the Friday, Sept. 13 performance, there will be a reception with the artists in the Virginia Harrison Parlor on the first floor of Lathrop Hall. Refreshments will be served.
This project is supported by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, the Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professorship, the UW-Madison Dance Department, and the friends of Jin-Wen Yu Dance.
