Let us introduce another choreographer for Program A of the Fall Dance Festival! For Myself by @bethanywolfman is a self-exploration of the internal voice inside of one’s head that is constantly moving them through the unstable ups and downs of life. It was an opportunity to reflect on not only my last 4 years as a student, but also through the experience that we have been living through this year. We are constantly fighting and moving through the ebbs and flows. This repre...sents my journey, while allowing me to create something solely for myself in such a time of isolation. CSULB Dance presents: Fall Dance Festival 2020, our very first virtual dance concert! Program A will be live-streamed via YouTube on November 13, beginning at 7 PM. Please join us for viewing at www.youtube.com/csulbdance. ALSO save the date, November 20, for Program B consisting of different works!
