Translated as “power” from the Nguni languages Xhosa and Zulu, these culminating concerts of 2025 feature works by visiting choreographer Monique Haley and faculty Bevara Anderson and Kelsa Rieger-Haywood set on students enrolled in one of the most popular Dance courses.
Originally created by Dance Center founder Shirley Mordine, Repertory Performance Workshop introduces students to the professional dancer’s experience of embodying multiple choreographic perspectives and languages on the same performance program.
