SUMMARY:ASU Spring Dance Fest (Tempe)
DESCRIPTION:Spring Dance Fest is an annual juried performance featuring the most innovative work of the Arizona State University dance season\, bringing together a dynamic collection of new works created within the School of Music\, Dance and Theatre. \n\nSpring Dance Fest\nWhen: 7:30 p.m. April 24–25; 2 p.m. April 26\nWhere: Galvin Playhouse Theatre\, ASU Tempe campus \nTicket information can be found here. \n\nThis 2025–26 season\, the pieces selected by the program committee reflect a wide range of choreographic voices\, drawing from different movement traditions\, creative processes and artistic perspectives. \n“The program moves through a wide range of choreographic landscapes\, from quietly unfolding duets to large-scale ensemble works\,” said Mitchell Castro\, dance graduate student and associate artistic director of dance this year. “Each piece offers a distinct perspective on movement\, inviting audiences into worlds shaped by curiosity\, collaboration and the evolving voices of ASU dance artists.” \nAudiences will experience works by guest artists Akosua Akoto and Joan Rodriguez; faculty choreographer MK Ford; and ASU student choreographers Ashley Koclanis\, Astrid Camacho\, Diana Toledo\, j. bouey and Yi Peng. \n“The works are brought to life by a large ensemble of ASU dancers\, each piece offering a distinct choreographic voice and approach to movement\,” said Mitchell. \nRodriguez said he was thrilled to work with ASU students. A Cuban-born dancer\, choreographer and educator known for his dynamic versatility and signature blend of Afro-Latin\, contemporary and multimedia movement\, Rodriguez is currently in his fourth season with BODYTRAFFIC in Los Angeles. \n“I think that some of the smartest artists that I have encountered are trained and based here\,” said Rodriguez. “My best advice is to really take in as much as you can of your teachers\, the amazing faculty that you have here\, and how much this city has to offer in regards to growing as a wholesome\, holistic artist — not just as a dancer.” \nHis work is a tribute to where he is now\, to his home country of Cuba and to what it feels like to be home. He said he wanted to create a work that “feels like you are being pulled back to the best memories you ever had.” \nAkoto has worked as a performer\, choreographer\, cultural consultant and movement coach for recording artists\, films\, major award shows\, dance tours and music videos. Her work features both traditional and contemporary West African dance styles. \nAkoto’s choreography for Spring Dance Fest\, “Farafina Muso\,” will be presented in three parts: “Maraka” comes from the Soninke people in the Kayes region of Mali and is performed to welcome the Marakafoli people when they arrive for social festivities like weddings. The dance is designed to welcome the audience to the piece. “Koredjuga” is from the Bamana people of Guinea and Mali\, who are known for their comedic wisdom — they perform for the public in a mime-like or gesture fashion as they give life lessons. The last track is a fusion of dances from Guinea and Mali that honors African women\, mothers and young girls. The featured dances and techniques are also taken from several other traditional rhythms including Yokui\, Guinea Fare\, Mane\, Kassa\, Bao\, Yankadi and Yamama. \n“Throttle\,” by Clinical Assistant Professor MK Ford\, features a live performance created with ASU students. There will also be a lobby installation highlighting excerpts of a screendance titled “State of Emergency/State of Emergence\,” created in collaboration with Glendale Community College students. \nFor choreographers Koclanis and bouey as well as performer Jimena Perez-Flores\, this will be their last performance at ASU. \nThe five pieces created by undergraduate and graduate students include: “Half Life” by Yi Peng and Grace Crain; “HYSTERIA” by Ashley Koclanis; “SATURN: Chapter One” by j. bouey; “Otro Dia” by Astrid Camacho; and “Doom Bags: A Love Letter to the ADHD Weirdo” by Diana Toledo\, \nAudiences can purchase tickets to attend Spring Dance Fest through the Herberger Institute Box Office. \nhttps://news.asu.edu/b/20260414-202526-asu-spring-dance-fest-brings-innovative-dance-works-stage?

It is a perfect platform for dance companies to get exposure\, promote their work\, and to connect with others in the dance community and the general public. Each evening performance will showcase different dance artists including emerging artists as well as professional companies from all genres and styles of dance. \nA post-performance “Q & A” will be facilitated by the Arizona Dance Coalition directly after the show. The “Q & A” will allow the audience to engage in lively conversation with the artistic directors and choreographers for insights in the creation of their dance works. \n  \n“ \nThis project is partially funded by a City of Tempe – Community Arts Grant.” \n  \n  \n \n“This project is supported in part by a grant from the Arizona Commission on the Arts\, an agency of the State of Arizona.” \n  \nFeatured Dance Artists and Companies:\nTHURSDAY\, SEPTEMBER 18 – Line-up (Alphabetical Order) \nABCD Bollywood Connect-Dance & Arts Foundation (Chandler\, AZ) – Semi-classical Bharatanatyam Fusion \nAnandha Ray / Renee Davis / Absoluta (San Francisco Bay Area\, CA) – Modern \nDesert Dance Theatre/Step’s Junk Funk (Tempe/Mesa\, AZ) – Interdisciplinary Modern & Percussion \nErika Alexxandrya and Maddie Coury (Chandler/Mesa\, AZ) – Contemporary \nGauri Bhobe/Sanskaar Nritya Dance Academy (Chandler\, AZ) – Bharatanatyam from India \nHAG Dance Company (Queen Creek\, AZ) – Contemporary \nHuman Nature Dance Theatre (Flagstaff\, AZ) – Modern \nJazz Spectrum Dance Company (Lake Forest\, CA) – Classical Jazz \nScottsdale Community College Dance Program (Scottsdale\, AZ) – Contemporary \nSedona Dance Project (Sedona\, AZ) – Modern \nShane O’Hara * Solo Dance (Williamsburg\, VA) – Modern \nSharqia Dance Theater (Phoenix\, AZ) – Middle Eastern \nWight Noise Dance Company (Peoria\, AZ) – Modern \n  \nFRIDAY\, SEPTEMBER 19 – Line-up (Alphabetical Order) \nAnthroArts Collective (Phoenix\, AZ) – Contemporary \nArchana Alagiri (Chandler\, AZ) – Bharatanatyam from India \nAstarte Belly Dance Troupe (Gilbert\, AZ) – Belly Dance \nBodies Contemporary Company (Mesa\, AZ) – Contemporary \nChaos Theory Dance (Tucson\, AZ) – Modern \nDesert Dance Theatre (Tempe\, AZ) – Modern \nGrace Crain and Koby Slavin – Collaboration – Modern Dance & Bass Clarinet \nHoorvash Dance Company (Paradise Valley\, AZ) – Classical and Modern Persian \nJenefer Miller /J.A.M.
