STEAM Ahead
Saturday, April 25, 2020 // 5:30pm & 7:30pm
Sunday, April 26, 2020 // 1:30pm
at Danceworks Studio Theatre
Join the youth artists of DYPC as they dive into a range of topics and explore their other interests through movement. In STEAM Ahead, we begin in a classroom setting and investigate various areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math through, you guessed it, “A” – the arts! Performers begin as students at desks but soon their excitement in a topic gets swept up into a visual, interactive learning experience where sound clips and movements are remixed and the classroom is transformed into a world of exploration and reinvestigation. The experience of learning becomes an all encompassing journey through movement, media, and music!

Our lives are marked by comings and goings. Sometimes a grand and sweeping entrance – sometimes an abrupt and unexpected exit. Long goodbyes, stumbling onto stage unprepared or shot like a cannon into the unknown. We’ll explore tales that exude humor, sorrow, joy and compassion crafted by guest author, Jennifer Kohnhorst (The Moth Twin Cities StorySLAM Winner, DPC’s Secrets from the Wide Sky). This theatrical event unfolds with original music by percussionist Andy Miller (UWM Dance Department Music Director), who provides drum rolls to accompany grand entrances and the steady pulse that vibrates through the exuberance of birth, the endurance of life and the ritual and beauty of death. Choreography by Dani Kuepper embodies these extreme moments of lived experience through an intergenerational cast that offer a collective wisdom and diverse perspective of beginnings and endings.
