Spring M.F.A. Dance Thesis Concert

Lost Patterns by Rebecca Hill

Driven by curiosity, ongoingness and experimentation, Hill devises a sonic landscape that breaks the boundaries between music and dance. Bodies become instruments and intricate choreographies yield sound in a piece that highlights the value of community. Six percussive dancers and two musicians investigate the translation process prevalent in Appalachian old-time music to unearth experimentation tethered to tradition.
