The NU Group Presents Two Weekends of Vibrant Dance,
Celebrating the Talent from Northwestern University

April 22-23, 2011 in Chicago, IL and April 29-30, 2011 in Evanston, IL

Chicago, IL – The NU Group, a collaboration of artists from Northwestern University, is presenting a celebration of new dance works all created, designed, and performed by NU alums.  The first weekend of performances will be on Friday, April 22 and Saturday, April 23 at 8:00PM at The Building Stage in Chicago.  The second weekend of performances will be on Friday, April 29 and Saturday, April 30 at 8:00PM at Northwestern University’s Marjorie Ward Marshall Ballroom Theater in Evanston.

Due to the increasing visibility and vibrant presence of Northwestern alums in local and global dance communities, the NU Group will feature this talent in these two weekends of performances in April.

NU Alums Julia Rhoads of Lucky Plush, Peter Carpenter, Annie Beserra of Striding Lion, Meghann Wilkinson of Lucky Plush, Adam Gauzza of Same Planet Different World, Michala Stock of NYC's Eyes of A Blue Dog, Genevieve Garcia, and Jeff Hancock will be presenting works for the NU Group.

Intelligent, theatrical, intricately and dynamically physical, the works presented showcase the scope of the program’s aims, and the continued growth and trajectory of the Alumni in the professional world. Utilizing text, song and movement ranging from gestural to athletic, the evening will present voices ranging from post-modern to theatrically driven movement.

Tickets priced from $12 - $20 for all of The NU Group’s performances and may be purchased online at Brown Paper Tickets.  Tickets for the April 22 and April 23 performances at The Building Stage are available online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/159963.  Tickets for the April 29 and April 30 performances at Northwestern University’s Marjorie Ward Marshall Ballroom Theater are available online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/160429.
