Each dancer learned a different solo or solos from archival footage. We then worked together to wrangle the dances into a new entity by experimenting with various proximities to each other, borrowing moments and flavors from each other, augmenting, multiplying, and exaggerating some movements, and creating spatial and rhythmic relationships between the soloists. We have sought to embrace the contemporary moment while we revisit these works, combing backwards in order to move forward with safety and with conscious optimism. We have also sought to let the work of each of the designers affect the shape, content, and experience of the work.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I want to thank the cast who all worked independently and in concert with each other with the utmost professionalism and dedication to this process. They have approached unearthing these works with intense respect, grit, enthusiasm, and commitment. They have also taken full advantage of the lessons contained within these solos while adding their own indelible stamp to the original material and to this group incarnation. I would also like to thank the many soloists in the past who have inhabited and vivified the original works in performance over the past decades: Racy Brand, Mary Cochran, Esteban Donoso, Emilie Plauche Flink, Alexander Gish, Claire Happel, Rebecca Hutchins, Elizabeth Johnson, Lindsey Marlene, Angela, Fledderman Miller, Cara Newman, Kendra Portier, Denise Posnak, Erika Randall, Amber Sloan, Endalyn Taylor, Luc Vanier, Katie Williams

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Producing a concert during COVID-19 has required us to re-think, re-invent, re-imagine every aspect of production. Deep appreciation to Krannert Center’s Director Mike Ross for generously supporting the academic work of the performing arts departments. His marvelous team in Marketing, Finance and Operations, Production, Ticketing Services, and Patron Services have done extraordinary work in assisting to re-invent the wheel! A huge shout-out to Terri Ciofolo and the stage management and design team in the Department of Theatre for their spirited work to make this concert happen, and my sincere thanks to the choreographers and dancers for remaining adaptable in response to the never- ending changes! Deep appreciations to all!

21 Land Acknowledgement

The University of Illinois System carries out its mission in its namesake state, which includes the traditional territory of the Peoria, Kaskaskia, Piankashaw, Wea, Miami, Mascoutin, Odawa, Sauk, Mesquaki, Kickapoo, Potawatomi, Ojibwe, Menominee, Ho-Chunk, and Chickasaw Nations. These lands continue to carry the stories of these Nations and their struggles for survival and identity.

As a land-grant institution, the University of Illinois has a particular responsibility to acknowledge the peoples of these lands, as well as the histories of dispossession that have allowed for the growth of this institution for the past 150 years. We are also obligated to reflect on and actively address these histories and the role that this university has played in shaping them. This acknowledgement and the centering of Native peoples is a start as we move forward for the next 150 years.

Krannert Center affirms the commitment by the university to move beyond these statements, toward building deeper relationships and taking actions that uphold and preserve Indigenous rights and cultural equity.

As we gather to experience this performance, we have an opportunity to reflect on the ways that systems of oppression have shaped our society. We can work together to create systems that support human dignity, establish equity, strengthen cross-cultural relationships, and draw upon the creative capacity of all people that make up this community, state, nation, and world.
