Become entangled in five works performed by the FreshDance student dance company, on May 20 and 21, at 8:00pm in the Mandell Theater (33^rd and Chestnut Streets). The ensemble’s spring concert, “Entangled,” features 30 dancers in pieces that range from the narrative to the abstract, including three works choreographed by faculty, one by a guest choreographer, and two by students. The works explore the intricacies of relationships and interactions and the complex vibrancy of our lives. Click here to purchase “Entangled” tickets, which are $5 for students and $10 general admission. The two student works that will be performed premiered last year in the Dance Ensemble concert and were choreographed by Dance major Mary Stickney and Design & Merchandising/Psychology Major Courtney Carey.

Faculty-choreographed works include pieces by Tania Isaac Hyman, founder of TaniaIsaacDance, and Olive Prince of the eponymous dance company. The show also features a piece by guest choreographer Jenn Rose, who is the founder of Loose Screws Contemporary Tap Company, a Broadway World Philadelphia Audience Choice Award winner and a three time Barrymore Award Nominee.
