The world arts and cultures/dance department's showcase, WACSmash, celebrates the visual and performing arts cultivated by dance students.
Many of the WACSmash dances focus on audience engagement through off-stage dancing, sensory experiences and ground-level stages.
"Mad Haus" by Raphael Smith, fourth-year dance student. Smith's dance features hip-hop dancing with Vogue Femme fundamentals to portray rebellion against the strict masculine standards and stereotypes he grew up with.
"Ego on a Ledge" by Matthew Rogers, fourth-year world arts and cultures student. Rogers' original choreographed piece stems from thoughts of depression and anxiety, which he experienced over the past several years.
"External Dialogue" by Michelle May, third-year dance student. May incorporated tap dance into her choreography for WACSmash, which moves from dark, quiet movements to faster floor work and tempo.
"On Trials" choreographed by fourth-year dance and communication student Kelsey Manes.
"The costume box under my bed" choreographed by fourth-year dance student Hannah Clarke.
"Solo/Duo" choreographed by fourth-year dance student Lissette Argoud.
"Open Eyes" choreographed by third-year dance student CJ Erasme.
