This event focuses on the increasing presence of dance programs in museums and galleries. The program will feature a 4:30pm performance by the Five College Dance Department in the museum, followed by a panel discussion in Graham auditorium at 5pm. This international trend has fostered unprecedented collaboration between dancers and curators, catalyzed new modes of spectatorship for dance and museum, and opened fresh possibilities for intermedia, site-specific projects at the intersection of dance and the visual arts.

Panelists: Lester Tomé, associate professor of dance; Frazer Ward, associate professor of art; and Tara Aisha Willis, associate curator of performance, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago | Moderated by Emma Chubb, Charlotte Feng Ford ‘83 curator of contemporary art, SCMA
