    Waiting in the Wings - Larry Keigwin

    "Waiting in the Wings," an original contemporary dance work choreographed by Larry Keigwin, is a journey through the eyes of a dancer from the street to the dressing room, to warming up backstage to the full stage experience. It is performed by senior contemporary dance students from the School of Dance, with a crew of Filmmaking and Design & Production students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

    “It’s a journey that the audience watches from the perspective of the dancer, but also from the voyeuristic perspective as well. We’ve been missing the theater for the past year and I hope that the audience feels a sense of anticipation and excitement,” says Keigwin.

    EGG

    An egg gives birth to fluid life forms, in a dance duet that embodies the moment consciousness & physical being become governed by space & time.

    This experimental independent short film explores the catharsis of re-birth, navigating the spectrum of grief, whilst mourning a false sense of self, and accepting change. Within the suspension of the gender binary; the human beings take their first real breaths.
