Wandering with purpose
HUMANS OF THE U: SAMANTHA MATSUKAWA
“My training as a dancer influences how I move throughout the world, how I understand my body and how I interact with others. It affects how I think, how I process things and how I choose to engage with the world. I can’t hear music without thinking about movement and I don’t feel like myself if I go long periods of time without engaging with some sort of movement practice.”
SHARING THE STAGE
The ballet and modern dance programs at the U will share the stage for the first time ever in the School of Dance’s inaugural gala concert.
NEW SCHOOL OF DANCE
U departments of Ballet and Modern Dance unite to form a new school in the College of Fine Arts and first in the Intermountain Region.

U’s modern dance concert to showcase Katie Scherman’s world premiere of “Ma femme.”
