2 3

WELCOMEEach year as spring arrives, so does Studiodance II. This is one of my favorite shows in our annual performance schedule at Krannert Center, and I am pleased to have the opportunity to introduce you to it. All students, from freshman to outgoing grads, are eligible to audition dances they have choreographed during the year. The show has been adjudicated by a panel comprised of students and faculty and exhibits the diverse range of styles and points of view we strive to create space for in our department. These works are choreographed in addition to the demands

of their very busy schedules and are evidence of the kind of self-motivation required to flourish in the professional dance arena. I thank the choreographers and dancers and all the designers for their hard work and collaborative spirit. We are so excited to share this collection of works by our inventive dancemakers and hope that their efforts stimulate you to further appreciate the inimitable qualities that only dance possesses.

Thank you for coming and enjoy the show!

—Tere O’Connor, concert director

DANCERSLindsey JenningsJessica Ziegler

NOTESI have been bringing my collage practices and materials to the studio as a way of generating choreographic material and reconsidering how I make dance. This way of working has influenced how I built this work, adhering disparate sensations of time and body next to one another, constructing a dance in the same way I build a collage. “On Forgiving” tracks obfuscated memories through multi-disciplinary means and attempts to choreographically enact rhythms of dissociative experiences. It is a work in progress.

Double-Sided DreamCHOREOGRAPHYDanzel Thompson-Stout

MUSIC“Avgo” by Terence Blanchard




DANCERJeremy Taylor

NOTES This piece is a bodily exploration of being “in between.” In between two choices, two realities, two feelings, two intensities. How does being in between resonate and tell a story in the body? Does this body ever get pulled out of the in-between? Does the body ever arrive to place or does the dance only exist in this in-between?

MUSICSculthorpe: String Quartet No. 8, recorded by Kronos Quartet




DANCERSJaylen De’Angelo ClayAnnabeth CrowserNina CrouchelliDanzel Thompson-Stout

NOTES This dance is composed of duets which would culminate into a quartet. The work examines human conflicts and attempts to resolution and is inspired by Auguste Rodin’s sculpture Fugit Amor.

“Nothing, really, is more moving than the maddened beast, dying from unfulfilled desire and asking in vain for grace to quell its passion.”

—Auguste Rodin

BlackbirdCHOREOGRAPHYFaith Brown

MUSIC“Blackbird” by Nina Simone




DANCERFaith Brown

NOTES This piece is the result of my intentions to dive deeper into the parts of myself I never held space for as a performer. Within this piece, I embrace the qualities and emotions I tend to overlook or suppress in the performance setting and use them to help me bring out my inner lioness: a combination of fierceness and beauty that exists within my authentic self.

MUSIC“Ultralight Beam” by Kanye West




DANCERJaylen De’Angelo Clay

NOTES This piece explores trauma, using ballet and modern vocabularies, and my experiences in relation to my past, present, and future. Over the past several years, I have been thinking about the relationship that I share with traumatic experiences, not acknowledging that there is no objective or criteria to evaluate the events that have caused post-trauma symptoms that are at stake for me. The circumstances that have involved the loss of control, betrayal, abuse of power, helplessness, pain, confusion, and/or loss are troubling for me, yet inspiring. Taking time to acknowledge these events, I understand I need not rise to the level of war, natural disaster, nor personal assault to affect a person or me to alter the experiences I share with this word. Traumatic situations cause post-trauma symptoms dramatically in my life; this is the reveal of it all. It’s happening.

MUSIC"Apologize” by OneRepublic




DANCERSAnnabeth CowsertSydney HagermanDanner SelfJenny SmithCassidy Zins

NOTES sorry-preen is an unrelenting examination of two seemingly dichotomous characteristics of femininity: the hesitations and doubt inherent in speech patterns and a willingness to submit to—and in fact perform for—the male gaze from a place of extreme self-confidence.

with Moving Collective—a company based out of Louisville, Kentucky —and has participated in multiple summer programs, including the American Dance Festival and the David Dorfman Dance Intensive. Ford has engaged with an array of dance forms and histories, somatic practices, and training programs. She has an affection for creating screendance and an interest in the cross-section of movement process and visual art. She likes to relish in the communicative space between her body and yours—the space where we can slip into the vital and creative intellect of our bellies.

Lindsey Jennings (Choreographer/Dancer), a native of Mount Sterling, Illinois, is now in her third year at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in pursuit of her BFA in dance.

She won Canada’s Jacqueline Lemieux Prize and New York’s Bessie Award for Sustained Outstanding Achievement. With the continued support of the Canada Council for the Arts and the Foundation for Creation in Fine Arts, she created En Solo, a platform for her own choreography and commissioned works by internationally renowned choreographers. Juste’s work has been presented in Canada, the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and South America. She is the choreographer-in-residence for the contemporary dance company Coreoarte from Venezuela.

Tere O’Connor (Concert Director) is the artistic director of Tere O’Connor Dance and a Center for Advanced Studies professor of dance at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has created over 40 works for his company and toured extensively throughout the United States and internationally, and has made numerous commissioned works for other dance companies including the Lyon Opera Ballet, White Oak Dance Project, and solo works for Mikhail Baryshnikov and Jean Butler.

PROFILESFaith Brown (Choreographer) developed a passion for the performing arts at a very young age, beginning with dance lessons at the age of four. She continued her studies throughout the years and decided to officially pursue her passion for dance as a career choice when she attended high school at the Youth Performing Arts School in Louisville, Kentucky. Brown is currently a sophomore at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign pursuing a BFA in dance as well as a minor in business. This past summer, she spent her time interning at the Gibney Center where she was able to connect with a variety of artists and experience the life of a dancer in New York City. She currently serves as an intern within the Department of Dance as well as a student board representative for her sophomore class. Her choreography has been recognized at the 2016 High School District Award Ceremony and has provided her with a scholarship in the 2017 Fine + Applied Arts Choreography contest. Two of her works, one of which was co-choreographed, were chosen to be performed in the Studiodance II 2018 production.

Elliot Emadian (Choreographer) is a gender-nonconforming interdisciplinary artist, teacher, and scholar currently living in Urbana, Illinois. Their work occurs in the intersection of dance and choreography, video art and editing, sound and music, light and photography, and popular culture. Emadian began dancing at the age of two, and their love of rolling on the floor and tie-dyed costumes continues to this day. They research the choreography of mathematics as a means to upset seemingly concrete assumptions around binaries of gender and power. Emadian is currently a teaching assistant pursuing a Master of Fine Arts in dance at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

At 15, Zins had the opportunity to begin teaching, and she loves when she is able to share her passion for dance with children. After graduation, she plans to pursue dance professionally as well as teach dance.

Rachel Rizzuto (Choreographer) is a choreographer and performer fascinated by gesture, repetition, inherent autobiography, and text. A graduate of the University of Southern Mississippi with degrees in dance and English, she spent nine years dancing for the Brooklyn-based company Mari Meade Dance Collective/MMDC. For the last four Valentine’s Days, she has self-produced an interdisciplinary evening, Love Sucks, an entirely non-self-effacing look at the hardships, hilarities, and heartbreaks of romantic relationships. With her project-based company, touche pas, she has choreographed a piece for a Brooklyn park that ruminates on the inner lives of medieval serfs and, most recently, created a work set entirely to the music of the Roche sisters. She has spent the last several years as an editor for Dance Teacher magazine and remains one of its contributing writers.

Furthermore, Thompson is currently working on projects such as dance on lm, collaborative community dance events, and exploring the crossovers between African dance and street dance styles.

Nina Crouchelli (Dancer) began her lifelong journey with dance under the direction of Robin Hill at the Dance Center of LaGrange (La Grange, Illinois). It was here that she found her voice in movement and a passion that would take her to unknown places. Now pursuing a BFA in dance at the University of Illinois, she has danced in works choreographed by Jennifer Monson, Linda Lehovec, John Toenjes, and Renata Sheppard. Crouchelli strives to intertwine her devotion to dance with her love of science and education.
