The department has instituted Community Previews, for which there will be 100 tickets available for $5 each (by the usual means) for many of their performances.

Two of the pieces on the Danscore program take a look at the immigrant experience from various viewpoints. One, “Ain’t Got No Time for HATE,” is choreographed by professor Darwin Prioleau. “The piece is about the history of immigration in this country. There will be text from authentic sources about Italian, Greek, and other groups of immigrants who were mistreated. … [T]he last five minutes are very positive in how it tries to dissect hate, and how we should have no time for it.”
Associate professor Mariah Maloney has created “Éire” (Ireland), an ensemble work featuring 15 female dancers, steeped in the traditions and culture of Ireland, as seen through the lens of the Potato Famine and Irish diaspora.
