The audition is open to students and community members of all levels of ability.

“Conventicle of Curiosities” will feature new works by Professor of Dance Nolan Dennett and Penny Hutchinson, as well as a reconstruction of Dennett’s masterwork of the same title inspired by the photographic art of Robert Parke-Harrison.  The original premiere of Dennett’s work was at the Dance Faculty Concert in April 2012.  “Conventicle of Curiosities” will be performed for the public at 7:30 p.m. on July 26-27 in the Western Gallery.
