During the Winter Art Party Extravaganza!! on January 27th at 7pm, The Dodd Galleries is premiering a new dance performance by CADEN:CE (Contemporary African Dance Ensemble : New Conscious Explorations). The performance piece was choreographed in response to Michi Meko's exhibition One Last Smile Before the Undertow which will also be opening that evening. The work is an exploration of a ritual process of preparing to journey; the movers are always made aware of their temporary place in the world.

CADEN:CE is Nieya Amezquita (Sophomore, Department of Dance), Alexis Birts (BFA , Department of Dance), and Tamara Thomas (Assistant Professor, Department of Dance)
