Enhanced by visual projections, the dancers will perform visually stunning movements on silks, lyra, trapeze, and bungee. Joining UGA student artists, the Staibdance company and guest artists will share the evening program performing excerpts from 2016's critically acclaimed work moat. Artistic Director George Staib reflects on his memories of immigrating from Iran to a small Pennsylvania town during the Iran Hostage Crisis. Fueled by heightened anti-Middle Eastern sentiment in the United States, some locals reacted with hostility, throwing tear gas into the family's yard and bullying the kids at school. The work raises questions of self-protection. "Mutual Resonance" runs in the New Dance Theatre from Thursday February 28 - Saturday March 2 at 8:00 p.m. $12 students/$16 general admission, $5 students groups of 8 or more. Tickets are available at the UGA PAC website, Tate Student Center, and at the door. Advance purchase is highly recommended. See CORE's website for more info.
