IU Contemporary Dance travels to Kennedy Center

A work from IU’s Department of Theatre, Drama and Contemporary Dance will show at the 2014 National College Dance Festival in Washington, D.C., in June.

“Minor Bodies,” choreographed by IU faculty member Elizabeth Shea, was first performed at the department’s January dance concert, “Moving Into Focus.”

Senior dance majors Shannon Kazan and Ryan Galloway will perform the work at the festival, which will take place at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and also feature performances from universities such as UCLA, Northwestern and the University of Michigan.

According to the festival’s website, the primary objective of the festival is to “highlight, on the national level, the outstanding quality of choreography and performance that is being created on college and university campuses.”
