This annual celebration of dance at the University of Iowa will bring the audience on stage with the artists this year.
The University of Iowa Department of Dance presents a rich program of both new and restaged works by faculty members--including Eloy Barragán, Armando Duarte, Kristin Marrs, and Stephanie Miracle--and creative collaborators as well as Sombrerísimo by distinguished guest choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa. Chris Bloom, formerly of Ballet Hispanico and a choreographer in his own right, will restage the electric Sombrerísimo on the student dancers.
Lopez Ochoa is an award-winning and much sought-after choreographer who has created work for companies around the world. Sombrerísimo, a humorous and bravado-infused romp for six dancers, was inspired by the work of painter René Magritte, who depicted bowler hats in the most surreal of circumstances.
“Ochoa is truly a masterful choreographer.” — Temecula Performing Arts Examiner
