The Department of Dance will begin streaming this year's Virtual DANSCORE on Wednesday, November 25, 2020, at 7:30 pm. The concert will be available on an on-demand basis through December 26. Though the event is free, patrons must register online at fineartstix.brockport.edu to receive the link to view the performance. Donations will also be accepted at the ticketing site. Patrons may contact the Tower Fine Arts Center box office for guidance at (585) 395-2787.

The concert includes five pieces involving the department's illustrious and talented faculty. The works include Jim Hansen's "Fault Lines," a new work from Tammy Carrasco, "Momentary Landing," choreographed by guest artist Janessa Clark, but featuring a performance by Brockport associate professor Stevie Oakes, "Dundun Fare" by Jenise Akilah Anthony, and "Hill Sky," conceived and created by Mariah Maloney.

Given the parameters the pandemic has set on teaching and performing dance (and many other performing arts), Maloney -- for one -- took to the outdoors. For "Hill Sky," she had 10 dancers engage in an improvisation practice as they responded to their natural environment. They would follow Maloney's prompts such as “run along the shadows on the grass like a serpentine.” They explored the texture of the trees, the light, and shadows cast on the hill, and then explored what it felt like to free fall and run down a hill.

"Dundun Fare" is another expression of how Anthony explores the African Diaspora in her work. She set the work against the traditional music of "Dundunba," as played by the Griot Drum Ensemble. Anthony's dances are a way for her to "prioritize cultural exchange and passionately focus much of my work on providing equitable, inclusive spaces for the community to engage in shared cultural experiences through movement."
