This annual celebration of dance at the University of Iowa will bring the audience on stage with the artists this year.
The University of Iowa Department of Dance presents a rich program of both new and restaged works by faculty members and creative collaborators as well as Sombrerísimo by distinguished guest choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa. Chris Bloom, formerly of Ballet Hispánico and a choreographer in his own right, will restage the electric Sombrerísimo on the student dancers.
Lopez Ochoa is an award-winning and much sought-after choreographer who has created work for companies around the world. Sombrerísimo, a humorous and bravado-infused romp for six dancers, was inspired by the work of painter René Magritte, who depicted bowler hats in the most surreal of circumstances.
