Jessica Lang Dance

Hailed as “a master of visual composition” by Dance Magazine, Jessica Lang, the recipient of a 2014 Bessie Award, seamlessly incorporates striking design elements and transforms classical ballet language into artfully crafted, emotionally engaging contemporary works. Among the pieces performed will be Tesseracts of Time, created in collaboration with internationally recognized architect, Washington native and UW alumnus Steven Holl. Also on the program for Veteran’s Day weekend is Thousand Yard Stare, set to Beethoven’s late String Quartet No. 15, Op. 132, honoring wounded veterans and those affected by war.
