Ysabella Lupercio, junior business management major, is one of the students who will be performing at DanceWorks. She will be performing a dance piece showcasing the effect of social media and the idea of being constrained to your phone. The event will take place Nov. 10 and 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the performance theater.
Lupercio and other students will participate in DanceWorks, a show highlighting original choreography by guest and faculty choreographers, as well as student dancers.
“Students have been working on the pieces for the past few months and DanceWorks is a way to show original choreography,”
Elana Lanczi, associate professor of dance in the Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts, said. “I think the show is an opportunity to see work that students may not be familiar with, and it’s a really well-produced fall show, almost like a professional show.”
New York choreographer Jennifer Nugent will be a guest artist and attending the show. Nugent worked with students at NSU and Broward College.
Nugent did a special project where she taught a piece to students at NSU and Broward College. The piece will also be presented at DanceWorks.
Lupercio was excited to learn from Nugent.
“Jennifer Nugent is amazing. It was really cool to work with somebody who wasn’t from here because when it comes to the dance world, Miami is very different from New York or Los Angeles, which are the big areas of dance. So, to have her come down and to see how she moved and how she worked was super exciting for everybody,” Lupercio said.
