In the time of…


About

“In the time of…” is Cherylyn Lavagnino’s newest work created on and for the University of Utah’s Ballet Department in collaboration with colleague and composer Brian Pappal. This dance for 13 women en pointe is Lavagnino’s response to the sense of loss, both literal and potential, we are communally experiencing. Lavagnino is tuning into the emotional weight women are carrying as they grapple with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic coupled with the political turmoil surrounding women’s rights. Finding strength and support through community, this dance reflects the healing and empowerment women provide one another.
