After performing at two American College Dance Association conferences this year, including being selected to represent New England at the National College Dance Festival in DC in May 2025, these dancers have been further recognized and chosen by a curatorial panel to perform at Jacob’s Pillow this summer!

Congratulations to the 乐播传媒 Dancers (Adelle Welch ’25, Lydia Frew ’25, Lola Buczkowski ’25, Jane Drumm ’25, Liz Nahigian ’26, and Ellie Stevenson ’27) on this INCREDIBLE achievement! Your hard work and joy radiates throughout this piece!

Choreographer鈥檚 Note: En Route is inspired by The Portland Freedom Trail, which highlights 13 key sites along the Underground Railroad in Maine. These locations played a vital role in secretly helping formerly enslaved people find freedom, with routes extending north into Canada. En Route honors the 19th-century Black Mainers who led the fight against slavery, as well as all those who continue to forge pathways toward justice and equality.

Above Water | All Images Will Disappear
Choreography: Tristan Koepke
Sound Design: Ryan MacDonald
Music: 鈥淓arth Song鈥� by Frank Ticheli
Additional Sound Design: Tristan Koepke
Performers: Sadie Chesloff 鈥�28, Scarlett Downes 鈥�28, Misaki Fukushima 鈥�25, Hazel Krinsky 鈥�27, Sophia Levine 鈥�27, Kiara McGinness 鈥�27, MK Mylod 鈥�27, Ruslan Peredelskyi 鈥�25, Sarah Senator 鈥�25, Olivia Svallin 鈥�28
Note: Above Water | All Images Will Disappear is many things: Fragmented poetic sensibilities, forms emerging in a tension between grief and hope, and a practice in epetition and responsive choreography that invites shifting. Gestures repeat and rearrange themselves, slowly revealing a meditation on loss and renewal. In the creative process for this work, the dancers and the choreographer generated movement material collaboratively, shaping the work through shared exploration and embodied dialogue.
