original dances by UW-Stevens Point dance majors, including:
- "Mé Féin,” by
Elaine Stone, is a self-reflective personal journey where two roads diverged
for endless possibilities.
- “Elongated
Tongues,” by Emily Hein, portrays a search for serenity through abstract
movement in a whimsical world.
- “Squatch!” by Alyssa
Casey, focuses on the beauty in individuality and finding joy in the unknown.
- “The Imperishable
Afterlife of Cardington Manor,” by Alyssa Casey, Caitlin Smiley and Shane
Donohue, interprets the memories confined in an aged, decaying manor, with
dancers transforming from moths to dust and from people to furniture.
- “Bereavement,” by
Madelyn Mickelson, explores the depth of sorrow and uses movement to capture
stages of grief.
