Part of Hancher’s 52nd Season

Co-produced by the University of Iowa Department of Dance and Performing Arts Production Unit

This annual celebration of dance at the University of Iowa will bring the audience on stage with the artists this year.

The University of Iowa Department of Dance presents a rich program of both new and restaged works by faculty members–including Eloy Barragán, Armando Duarte, Kristin Marrs, and Stephanie Miracle–and creative collaborators as well as Sombrerísimo by distinguished guest choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa. Chris Bloom, formerly of Ballet Hispanico and a choreographer in his own right, will restage the electric Sombrerísimo on the student dancers.

Lopez Ochoa is an award-winning and much sought-after choreographer who has created work for companies around the world. Sombrerísimo, a humorous and bravado-infused romp for six dancers, was inspired by the work of painter René Magritte, who depicted bowler hats in the most surreal of circumstances.

“Ochoa is truly a masterful choreographer.” — Temecula Performing Arts Examiner
