Northwestern University Danceworks 2026: Semiquincentennial
Fri, Mar 13 – Sun, Mar 15, 2026
20 Arts Circle Dr., Evanston, IL 60208
Danceworks 2026 gathers choreographers, dancers, and audiences to ask: What does it mean to move together in a time of unraveling?
How do we move through a world where some bodies are deemed disposable, where borders harden as seas rise, where the very ground beneath us is contested? In this space, we don’t promise harmony. We offer the friction of real encounter. Through choreography and improvisation, we explore the politics of presence: the radical act of showing up, in all our differences, when everything tells us to retreat. Can collective movement—breathing, sweating, grieving in rhythm—forge something beyond mere survival?
