Associate Professor of Dance Hari Krishnan presents his company inDANCE and Wesleyan students in an evening of dance, transgressing the boundaries of culture, race, gender, and sexuality during the Connecticut premiere of SKIN during the Spring Faculty Dance Concert.
inDANCE features an international cast of stellar dancers from Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and China; including Eury German '16 in his first season with the company. He first learned to dance when he came to Wesleyan, and is currently a professional dancer working in New York City, performing in the works of several well-known choreographers. These performances of SKIN will also include six Wesleyan students: Mickey Kieu '19, Amira Leila '20, Gita Ganti '21, Aditi Mahesh '21, Luna Mac-Williams '22, and Spenser Stroud '22.
"Hari Krishnan, the maverick gadfly is aggressively iconoclastic (and) a Very Naughty Boy (who) scoff(s) at tradition, turn(s) things upside down and shake(s) out all the cobwebs."
