Pre-Show Discussion

Florida State University’s School of Dance presents An Evening of Dance. These performances will highlight the broad scope of choreographic exploration and breadth of performance capabilities of the students and faculty. The diverse program will feature four works spanning a range of dance genres from a contemporary ballet to post-modern explorations of current societal concerns demonstrating students and faculty’s commitment to versatility, research and excellence in the field of dance.

The concert is dedicated to the memory and contributions of longtime School of Dance photographer Jon Nalon. Jon, a motorcycle mechanic by day, wonderfully captured the still moments of a moving art form and provided the School of Dance and Tallahassee community with a large collection of noteworthy and captivating photos of movement for almost 35 years. The lobby will feature some of Jon’s most memorable photos. The evening features work of Visiting Artist in Residence Ann Carlson, Dan Wagoner, Josephine Garibaldi, Caleb Mitchell, and Kehinde Ishangi.
