Artistic Direction by Tristan Koepke

Celebrating the legacy of Marcy Plavin, the founder of the Bates College dance program, this concert features original choreographies by nationally renowned Bates Dance Festival artists-in-residence Gesel Mason, BRKFST Dance Company, Christina Robson, and Assistant Professor Tristan Koepke. Student artists engage with the choreographers throughout the Winter semester in the Dance Repertory & Repertory Styles courses and bring their dynamic works to the stage. Each repertory artist’s diverse way of moving and creating art empowers student artists to expand their definition of dance as a powerful mode of artistic expression.
