Dance Division Starts Semester With ‘Somewhere In The Void’

The Dance Division started off the academic year with a bang with a choreographic residency by New York City-based choreographer, Christian von Howard. Howard, along with his assistant, Shay Bland, spent six days creating a new work, “Somewhere In The Void,” that will premiere at the Fall Dance Concert: Moving Forces, in October. “Somewhere In The Void” focuses on the mechanisms of establishing a greater sense of community while challenging what it means to be an individual. Von Howard’s movement language blends athletic and virtuosic technical dancing providing a nonstop visual landscape that not only designs, but also pushes, the boundaries of the space.
