POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

In March, I led my second year of Under Construction, a student choreography showcase emerging from the collaboration of two courses I served as Professor of Record for, Dancing for Choreographers and Choreography and Production Practicum. This continues to be a space where experimentation, risk-taking, and emerging artistic voices can take shape.

Together, these courses support students through a full creative process, from concept development to production, including staging, music selection, performer collaboration, and the refinement of artistic intention into performance.

This year’s choreographers, Abbi, Devdan, Maggie, Keegan, and Amber, offered thoughtful and deeply personal investigations into movement and storytelling. Thank you all as well for the incredibly kind anti-inflammatory fruit basket, so thoughtful and appreciated!!!

I am deeply appreciative to Madison King, Sydney Lin, and Amaree Ratliff for their care and artistry in lighting design, program creation, and stage management.

I am grateful to all the faculty, staff, departments, student collaborators, and guest artists who make this work possible, including Production Arts and Operations, the Dance and Music Departments, our student ushers, and collaborating music students Josepp-Inés Jones, Brandon Stinson, and Marc Denton.

Under Construction 2026

The best experience ever! Thank you to Maggie and Amber for letting me be apart of the art you created to share with people. Thank you to my fellow dancers in both casts who were nothing but supportive. Finally thank you to Professor Tate for giving me the space to grow as a dancer and a person and thank you to the dance department for having this opportunity for me to perform and connect with people through the arts 🩷

⭐️SENTIMENTAL BODIES💿
I am so incredibly proud of this sweet cast. I love each and every one of you so much and I am so grateful for everything you gave to this piece. I hope you know I kept each of you in mind throughout the entire choreographic process. This is your piece, and I was so lucky to be given the opportunity to set it on you all!
Much much love - Mags🤍

Fall Dance Concert 2025 !! 🫐💙🩵

This piece means so much to me and pushed me in ways I didn't think possible. I've found such a strong love for Modern through this semester and can't wait to continue to grow as a dancer and step outside of my comfort zone.

Huge thank you to @audibaran and @clt_dancedept for this opportunity and choreography!

GO BLUEBERRIES!! 🫐🫐🫐
