MERIDIAN THESIS CONCERT THIS WEEKEND

Reserve your ticket before it sells out!!


This spring, the Department of Dance at Case Western Reserve University
will continue its 2018-2019 season with *Meridian*, a thesis concert
featuring dance works by MFA candidate Yizhen Hu, with additional works by
guest artists and CWRU alumni Karlie Budge and Yidi Lin. Performances are
March 28, 29, 30 at 8 p.m. and March 31 at 2:30 p.m. at Mather Dance Center
on the Case Western Reserve University campus.



*Yearning*, a solo work choreographed by Hu, explores the experience of
people who are trapped by cultural and social restrictions, and find
themselves enduring intense external pressure.

As they find ways to overcome these forces in order to exert their own
viewpoint, the result is finding their own paths and making their own
choices.



A duet for two men, *Synergism*, explores two males who both struggle in
executing certain movements. Once they come to realize that one person can
facilitate another to achieve the movements that the other cannot do, they
cooperate and assist each other.



Hu’s*Amalgamation *is an abstract group piece featuring an ensemble of
undergraduate and graduate students. With music by Rob Power, the work
displays the process of creating a movement idea, developing it, and then
reducing it back to the original.



Returning to the Mather Dance Center stage is *Inevitable*, which explores
the emotional experiences of death and loss. Hu’s choreography investigates
the struggles of grief and the frustrations of helplessness, along with the
realization of the unavoidable mortality of human life.



*Between Us, *choreographed by alumni Karlie Budge andYidi Lin, is a duet
in five sections - Sneaking, Frisking, Fleeting, Floating, Seething -
portraying the forming and falling out of a relationship*.*Budge graduated
in 2016 earning her BA in dance and Lin graduated in 2016 earning her MFA
in dance. The work will be performed by Yizhen Hu and Katie Nabors.
