Space Place Theater

An integral part of the performance of the performance experience for dance students is participation in the many formal and experimental concerts throughout the year. The Department of Dance’s Space Place Theater provides space for these concerts. An evening performance could be graduate students presenting their MFA thesis, members of a composition class testing in practice what they have learned in the classroom, dance faculty and students showing their new choreography, or an exciting restaging of classic and contemporary works. In addition, the Department of Dance sponsors Construction Site showings throughout the year–informal gatherings that allow students to show in-progress work and receive constructive feedback.

I like to take a long step into spooky season, and I’m getting my paranormal books in early this year. This book held true to werewolf lore in a very meta way. Where do werewolves start their shift?
