KSU Dance students have been collaborating this semester with the Department of Theatre & Performance Studies in "The Beauty Project: Through the Looking Glass". This is an immersive performance at Smith-Gilbert Gardens that explores themes of beauty and belonging through movement and storytelling. As part of this work, dancers help bring the Jabberwocky to life within a larger youth-centered, site-specific theatre experience.

This project is developed in conjunction with DANC 4490: Dance in the Environment under Professor Andrea Knowlton.

Dancers: Kenzie Edwards, Evan Hamilton, Deontae Nelson, Liesel Nelson, Jordan Smith, Amber Solana, Lexi Vierra

Come see these artists perform April 17–18 and 24–25! Tickets are available through the link in bio.🪴
