The shows will include nine 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.
