The event will feature a curated selection of new Ukrainian short plays written since February 24, 2022 by member playwrights of the Theatre of Playwrights in Kyiv, reflecting on their experiences of the ongoing war in their country through a range of theatrical styles. These playwrights' voices demonstrate unique positionalities from artists' perspectives of the war in Ukraine. By presenting these artists' work during the ongoing war in Ukraine, we are able to not only amplify their messages but also support them as working artists, continuing to live in Ukraine.The plays are selected and dramaturgically supported by student dramaturgs (THEA 350), and the performance will feature students from Acting I (THEA 254). Following the performance, the audience will be invited to join in a talkback facilitated by student dramaturgs.Then, on May 7th from 3-5 PM, please join us for an Artists' Talk via Zoom with Nina Zakhozhenko, Maryna Smilianets, and Volodymyr Serdiuk (three of the playwrights whose work will have been performed) as they reflect on their work and their experiences as playwrights continuing to live and work in Ukraine.

The Colgate University Department of Theater presents the Spring Dance Concert: DIS/UNITY. This production is the culmination of THEA 371: Contemporary Dance in Performance. Students in this class worked together and individually in the creation of their own choreography while immersed in faculty and guest artist work. They collaborated with students in MUSI 208: Jazz Improvisation, under the direction of Professor Brian Stark, and brought additional students into the fold for guest artist Esther Baker-Tarpaga’s interdisciplinary work.The theme of DIS/UNITY is approached capaciously. It is presented across these works thematically, conceptually, and as a choreographic device. The artists consider the ruptures and continuities that characterize their relationships and lives in moments of transition. They question audience desires for cohesion and, in some cases, allow the seams to remain exposed. They merge disparate dance forms, artistic disciplines, and sounds, creating moments of harmony and those of dissonance.The performance will begin at Taylor Lake near Willow Path followed by a procession to Brehmer Theater in the Dana Arts Center.This event is co-sponsored by Colgate Arts Council, Department of Art, Department of Music, and Environmental Studies Program.
