a dance concert

Rebecca Tanner is a senior at the University of Minnesota working on her senior project. Rebecca will be presenting two new dance works exploring how individual personalities, movement styles, and experiences can come together to co-exist with each other in space through rigorous dynamic movement. The goal of her senior project is to experience what it is like to be a professional choreographer in a setting that is outside of the University of Minnesota.

Michael Lynch is a graduate of the University of Minnesota. He is establishing himself as a professional choreographer of his dance company, Paper Crown Dance. He will be presenting his latest full length work, Pulse, a dance focusing on a singular queer experience and how it is affected by the community they are surrounded by. It is his hope to present this work in a more intimate space to welcome the audience more into the piece.
