We hope you will join us for this collaboration highlighting performance and visual art.  There are three events scheduled: Wednesday October 7, 12:15 p.m., Thursday October 8, 7:15 p.m., and Saturday October 10, 1:00 p.m.

Students under the direction of NIU Theatre and Dance Professor Paula Frasz, will present four dance pieces of approximately 3 minutes each.  Each arrangement will take place twice each day to allow visitors to see every dance in the galleries.

In the Rotunda Gallery, Melanie Windland, Rachel Lopez, Amaris Gholar, Ashley Muhammed and Elizabeth Kraus will present Funnel Series and Sagrada Familia, named after the Jessica Gondek works to which they correspond.
