TWU Dance is excited to welcome Faith Blue Magee and Hannah Staton from Loam!

Faith Blue Magee and Hannah Staton are freelance performing artists based in Dallas, Texas and co-directors of Loam Dance Co. Faith received her BA from the University of North Texas and has trained with Zion Dance Project. She recently participated in a research program with Evelien Jansen through Arts&Studios and was part of the Creation Lab with Bombshell Dance Project in February 2025. Hannah, originally from Thailand, began dancing in 2005 and earned her BFA in Contemporary Dance with a minor in Arts Entrepreneurship from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. Her experience includes performing with SUAH African Dance Theatre, training with Zion Dance Project, and most recently, performing in Flies with Bombshell Dance Project.

Together, Faith and Hannah co-direct Loam, a contemporary dance company rooted in the exploration of ease in movement. Loam investigates how the body can move when tension is released and continual falling becomes the foundation of motion—pushing deeper into the possibilities of letting go.

Registration is open for the TWU Summer House Dance intensive with Emily Culbreath!

House is both a club dance style and a cultural movement rooted in the African American and Latinx q***r communities of New York City and Chicago. In this class, participants will explore foundational footwork and rhythmic patterns, engage with the histories that shape the form, and learn choreography as a pathway for connection. Dancers will also develop tools to embody House vocabulary through freestyle, deepening their individual expression. Grounded in the core values of House: musicality, polycentrism, community, and the ethos of “come as you are”—this class invites each participant to engage fully as themselves and grow as movement-artists with a commitment to intention and exploration.
Register now to immerse yourself in a transformative experience this summer!

To register, please visit selfservice.twu.edu. We invite you to spend your summer with us, exploring your creativity and having fun while growing as an artist.

TWU Dance is thrilled to welcome guest artist Sydnie Mosley!

Sydnie L. Mosley is an award-winning choreographer and writer renowned for socially aware creative work with her collective SLMDances. Her repertoire including her critically acclaimed evening length dances PURPLE: A Ritual In Nine Spells (world premiere Lincoln Center 2023, two-time Bessie nominated), The Window S*x Project, and BodyBusiness—as well as their creative processes—are a model for dance-activism. She was one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch” in 2024 and recognized by former NYC Mayor de Blasio in 2017 for using dance to fuel social change. Sydnie was part of the Bessie Award-winning skeleton architecture, the future of our worlds, curated by Eva Yaa Asantewaa. In addition to her own work—which she has performed from Lincoln Center to the legendary Apollo Theater—she performed with Christal Brown's INSPIRIT (2010-2013) and Brooklyn Ballet (2009-2019). She has been a visiting lecturer at Harvard University. Her writing has appeared in ESSENCE, Dance Magazine, and The Washington Post. SLMDances has danced across the US including Brooklyn Museum, Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State, Dance Brigade (San Francisco), Dance Place (Washington DC), Joyce Soho, Harlem Stage, Judson Church, and many more. She recently served as Assistant Choreographer for the first-ever full staging of Zora Neale Hurston's S***k presented by Yale Repertory Theatre, a play that was lost to time until the Library of Congress uncovered the drama in 1997.
