I remembered walking out of Mini Locally Grown Dance at the end of last semester absolutely blown away, and regretted not having taken advantage of my department’s dance division. This year’s Locally Grown Dance was no different, and I feel like I have to put at least some of my thoughts in words so you don’t miss out any longer. Unlike Mini Locally Grown Dance, which featured a range of short dances from different choreographers, this year’s LGD consisted only of four large pieces, each driven by a specific theme. What was also particularly interesting to me was the director and choreographer Byron Suber’s choice to include video projection in the performance. The projection on layers of opaque meshy fabric created a dream-like space that immediately transitioned the viewer into the world of the dance.
