Helping Students to See the People, Not Just the Dance 

By Emma Rollins
December 04, 2021 12:00 AM
by Emma Rollins, dramaturg As dramaturgs, we had the opportunity to run workshops with the dancers. We played games from their dances’ countries of origin and we also quizzed them on their knowledge of advent and the same countries as mentioned before. This helped them to see the humanity and reality of the people they’re representing when they dance, hopefully helping them to feel a better understanding and connection to them. Here are the links to the different Kahoots we quizzed them on. Try them out and see if you know the answers! Advent: Click HERE! 9 o’clock Click HERE! 10 o’clock Click HERE! 2 o’clock Click HERE! Tier 2 Click HERE! International Folk Dance Ensemble Click HERE!

REJOICE! Finding Joy in Every Circumstance

By Jessie Pew
December 03, 2021 12:00 AM
Christmas Around the World is a well-established tradition at Brigham Young University, with this year’s production marking its 60th appearance in the BYUarts season. While primarily a cultural celebration, there is always a theme arching over the production and informing the text and music performed in between the dance numbers. Previous years have seen themes, most recently, “A Light in the Window” (2019), which highlighted the importance of cultural roots being maintained despite immigration, and promoted empathy and compassion for those who have had to leave their ancestral homes against their will. With such a lofty preceding theme, the 2021 theme, “Rejoice” can seem rather simple in comparison. However, I think more than ever, today we are aware that rejoicing is not an inherently simple action.
