This provocative and personal work by choreographer/performer Trebien Pollard challenges us to see the symbols and regulations imposed on the body, pulling us into an uncertain vortex of Blackness.

Pollard's choreographic work has been presented throughout the States, England and Japan, following an expansive career that includes Ronald K. Brown/Evidence, Bebe Miller Company, Urban Bush Women, Pilobolus, Tania Isaac Dance, and Martha Graham Ensemble. His recent creative work considers geographic sites, embodied language and spatial strategies as emancipatory practices for survival and liberation. No late entry will be permitted for these performances.

Programmed as part of Dartmouth's Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration, with the theme of "Moral Courage in the Face of Uncertainty"

Funded in part by the Carolyn R. Kohn 1976 Dance Artist in Residence Fund, the Amy and Henry Nachman, Jr. '51 Fund for Visiting Performing Artists in Dance, the Nathan W. Pearson and Sons 1932 Fund, Melville 1960 and Leila Straus, the Wetzel Family Fund for the Arts and the Blye Fund for Artists' Residencies at the Hopkins Center for the Arts.
