The Fall 2024 Emory Dance Company Concert features new work by faculty members Julio Medina, George Staib, Lori Teague and guest artists Doug Varone and Danielle Swatzie.
Read about faculty member Lori Teague's work and process below!
I am working on a piece about the challenges we experience trying to communicate (our feelings, our belief systems, our intent). As an entry point, we have discussed political differences in our family and our friend circles as a cast. I am also exploring resiliency as a method of adapting to differences and how we listen to each other. I am trying to discover new ways of expressing this in dance.
Working in Duet form, the dance becomes a conversation. I hope to discover ways of building trust that strengthens how we listen. I hope to discover ways that “big differences” coexist in an environment of respect. I plan to build this conversation with the audience by stepping out of duet form.
