Dance Dive features one artist talking about one of their works that has been presented at the Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago. The Dance Center has had incredible artists and unbelievable dance works come through our spaces over the last 47 years. With this series, I wanted to give us a chance to look back and celebrate some of the work that usually lies quietly in our video archives. We so often rush to the next project that I wanted to take a different approach with the Dance Dive and look back with these videos. Maybe you remember seeing this presentation, or maybe this is your first time getting a glimpse. Either way, we hope you enjoy this small celebration of our history.
