Session Title: Art as Activism

Is dance political? What role should artists play in challenging the public? Bold female choreographers Brenda Way, Nicole Klaymoon, and Rosy Simas will discuss the socio-political nature of their work and engage in a philosophical discussion about the role of art, authorship, and activism in contemporary society. View film clips from recent dance works and engage in open dialogue with happy hour following.
