An unconventional dance performance will come to Lawrence University’s swimming pool at the end of March.
Lawrence University – Dance Series
at Buchanan Kiewit Wellness Center pool
Sat & Sun March 30 & 31st, 2019
8pm
Free, reservations required
LU Box Office – 920-832-6749
Each year, the Lawrence University Dance Series brings several professional, cutting-edge dance performances to Appleton. Margaret Sunghe Paek, Instructor of Dance in the Conservatory of Music, believes dance is a visual and experiential art form that everyone can benefit from. “We all have bodies, and we move every day. The Dance Series exposes our Fox Cities community to diverse ways we can craft movement and experience live art together.”
The upcoming Dance Series performance, Breathe: a multi-disciplinary water opera, is an ethereal production that utilizes the Lawrence University Buchanan Kiewit Wellness Center as the performance space. Breathe will transform the swimming pool and its surroundings, combining song, movement, light, projections, water, diving, dancing, music, and text.
This contemporary water opera’s three lead artists have been collaborating together for twenty years. Creator, director, and choreographer, Gabriel Forestieri, based in Boston and Italy, has been working with a mix of athletes, students, and professionals. The composer and musical director is Loren Kiyoshi Dempster, an Appleton resident who teaches at Lawrence, has a private cello studio, and is a guest artist at Renaissance School for the Arts. Adrian Jevicki, joining from New York City, is Breathe’s author and visual artist.
As audience members journey through the performance, they are encouraged to open their awareness and experience dance in a new way. Underwater dancing and floating choirs mix with a soundscape composed directly from the space itself, using contact microphones both out of and in the pool. Playing with dimensions of air, water, and light, the opera blends and signals through possibilities of sound, space, and depth. This is a performance with many surprises.
Breathe will run Saturday and Sunday, March 30 and 31st at 8:00pm in Lawrence University’s Buchanan Kiewit Wellness Center swimming pool. Performances are Free, but reservations are required. Contact the LU Box Office at 920-832-6749 to make reservations.
Congressional oversight of the executive branch will be the subject of a discussion April 2 at Lawrence University. Matthew Dull, an associate professor at the Virginia Tech School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA), will speak at 7:30 p.m. in Science Hall 102. His presentation is titled, “What’s the Matter with Congressional Oversight?” He’ll address when a president can go around Congress and what Congress might do about it.
Dull’s research and teaching interests include American political institutions, public administration, public policy, and research methods.
The talk is free and open to the public.
The admissions office will be welcoming many prospective students and their families to campus for three events in the month of April.
To help provide the best possible guest experience, we will be blocking off the parking lot next to Chapman Hall those days to exclusively allow our guests to park there.
With about 100 admitted students and their families visiting on April 29, we are expecting parking to be limited, and appreciate your efforts in making these families feel welcome!
