Commencement Forum | Pivot Points: 50 Years of Dance in Brown’s Open Curriculum
9:00 AM | Granoff Center for the Creative Arts, 154 Angell Street
The dance program began the same year as the establishment of the Brown Open Curriculum and one year before the merger of Brown and Pembroke College. Join Brown dance program founder Julie Adams Strandberg for a look back at five decades of dance at Brown and the social, political and cultural context of this milestone anniversary. The forum will include current students and faculty, dance alumni and dance professionals with a connection to Brown and will feature short performances and a preview of celebrations planned for the coming year.
