Dancing With Ghosts is a shared evening of contemporary dance works by queer POC choreographers Kristianne Salcines and Randy Reyes. These fierce artists share their embodied research through practices of questioning and responsiveness. They perform survival, identity, intersectionality, presence, absence, democracy, community, process, performativity, and more.
There will glorious be dancing. There will be a mess. There will be discovery. These are urgent dance works of our time. Come and celebrate the radically transformative power of dance!
Kristianne Salcines is a queer Filipina born and raised in the Philippines currently based in LA and Berlin. They explore their cultural heritage and gender representation in their choreographic work.
Randy Reyes Randy Reyes is a queer-Latinx-brujx originally from NJ y Guatemala currently oscillating between the Bay Area, LA, and NYC. They explore Chinese Energetics, the presence of absence, collaborating with grief, joy, and the unseen.

DNCE 303 - Contemporary Folklorico showing
12/03/2018 - 8pm - ARTS 101
Synopsis-Social knowledge has often taken a form that is controlled by fewer people
having the means of accessing and documenting information.
Using Diana Taylor’s theory of “performing cultural memory in the Americas,” students in Dance Studies 303- Contemporary Folklorico, are researching how embodied knowledge, or the repertoire, is an approach that the community uses, as well as the archive, to document and democratize history, set values, demonstrate regional idiosyncrasies, and embody social justice issues of a vast and varying community.
This culminating performance, titled “Missing 43,” will demonstrate how students are relating to the research and shaping history and narratives contemporarily and transnationally.
