The UCSB Dance Company from the University of California, Santa Barbara presents “Refractions: voices of light & dark” with the artistic director Delila Moseley
The UCSB Dance Company, a 9-member pre-professional dance company from the University of California, Santa Barbara, presents a dynamic concert of contemporary dance, enriched with lighting projections, video, and visual storytelling.
💡 Refractions: voices of light & dark reflects the artistic vision of contemporary choreographers through the prisms of light, dark, and movement. The program features six choreographers—faculty and guest artists—showcasing compelling, thought-provoking, and deeply honest works.
🎭 Premiering Works:
🔹 Maenad – Delila Moseley: a fusion of contemporary and balletic forms inspired by Greek mythology.
🔹 Dream – Christina McCarthy: a surreal dreamscape with puppets, pillows, and unexpected experiences.
🔹 Curio – Meredith Ventura: inspired by the radical cabaret dances of the 1920s and 30s.
✨ Additional Choreographies:
🔹 ARENA, or 1 of 4 and 4 of 1 – Brandon Whited: a witty, light-hearted exploration of form and expressiveness.
🔹 what it takes to care – Megha Ramachandran: a reflection on the dancer’s role in revolutionary and liberatory contexts.
🔹 Are We There Yet? – Sky Pasqual: a journey toward inner freedom and self-discovery.
💃 The UCSB Dance Company is a pre-professional student dance company that offers graduating dance majors opportunities to perform and tour in the U.S. and internationally.
