MFA candidates choreograph their theses

Master of Fine Arts candidates Jess Curtis and Nina Galin are about to put their choreographic theses on stage for the public to see.

Curtis, an award-winning San Francisco choreographer, crafted his work in collaboration with an international team of multidisciplinary performers. They included performance artist Guillermo Gomez-Peña, who served as a dramaturgical collaborator.

Galin’s offering is a new music-dance-theater work that explores different senses of “joint”: point of clear articulation in a body; meeting place; collaboration.
