The NIU School of Theatre and Dance presents Dancing Together Forward: Fall 2020 Dance Concert with six airings over the next two weeks, premiering Friday, November 20 at 7 p.m. on YouTube.
This screen dance was made in collaboration with the dancers and choreographers of the School of Theatre and Dance and the artists of NIU’s Integrated Media Technologies. It was filmed and produced at locations all throughout our NIU campus.
The artists want to acknowledge that the place where they study and make their art sits upon the traditional homelands of the Sauk, Meskwaki and Potawatomi nations.This collaborative project is the culmination of a classroom exploration, not a production to which they are selling tickets. The performance will only be available for viewing during the six live airings:
Friday, November 20, 7 p.m.
Saturday, November 20, 7 p.m.
Sunday, November 21, 7 p.m.
Thursday, November 26, 7 p.m.
Friday, November 27, 7 p.m.
Saturday, November 28, 7 p.m.
All participants of this project, including the dancers, videographer and crew, were socially distanced during its filming.
