Castleton University Collaborative Arts on April 15 & 16

Castleton, VT (04/06/2022) — Castleton University presents its annual Collaborative Arts exhibition on April 15 and 16 at 7 p.m. in Casella Theater.

Night one features works presented by members of the Castleton community and guest group SVA Dance Collective.

Artists include Mason Parece, Josie Gawrys, Coral Huff, Peter LaLumiere, Domonique Thorne, Jahwara Rennalls, Grace Keane, Aris Sherwood, Daniel Jackson, and Nicole Ullman with SVA Dance Collective.

The performance will include dance, live rap music, visual art, fashion, and theater created through collaboration with other artists and/or through a multidisciplinary lens. Strong language is included in some pieces.

Night two includes a screening of "Sosen Kara No Chikara " (energy from ancestors), a short film rooted in the familial stories and perspectives of three Asian American women.

Together they explore the journey of three generations through movement - the generation who stayed, the generation who changed homes, and the generation born in America. This film serves as a grounding piece to connect to those that came before us. Presenting artists include Maya Kraus, Maddie Burke, Luke McGee, and Zoe Marr-Hilliard.

Face masks are required to attend this event.

Castleton Collaborative Arts was formed in 2012 by dance faculty Maya Kraus. It is an opportunity for young artists to test the waters, push boundaries, and collaborate with others or with other disciplines of art.
