As dance artists, we are inclined to investigate and embrace shifting perspectives, to question and unravel old patterns, and to find new ways to root ourselves in the present. The Gustavus Dance Company explores these themes of change, growth, and reconnection through choreographed works by guest artists Yukino Sato and Darrius Strong, Professor Emerita Melissa C. Rolnick, and current faculty Sarah Hauss and Jill Patterson, along with selected student work.

After the end of contemporary America, in a future without power, what survives?  Mr. Burns, by Anne Washburn, investigates how theatre and storytelling tell us who we are and who we’ve been, explores pop culture’s survival and evolution under stress, and imagines a future for TV’s most enduring family.  A darkly comic play with music that the New York Times says “leave[s] you dizzy with the scope and dazzle of its ideas.”

Score by Michael Friedman, with lyrics by Anne Washburn. Directed by Michael Swanson. Presented by the Department of Theatre and Dance.
