Artistic Direction by Melissa Blanco Borelli
Saturday, March 4, 2023 at 2:00PM

Josephine Louis Theater
on the Evanston Campus of NU at The Wirtz Center
20 Arts Circle Drive
Evanston, IL 60208
Located on the southeast part of the Evanston campus, just off Sheridan Road and Campus Drive. The Louis Theatre is on the south side of the Wirtz Center building, at the base of the hill leading up to the Arts Circle, facing the parking lot(s).

The Wirtz Center will no longer check proof of vaccination; however, masks will be required inside the theatre for performances.

What do cabarets, 1960s surf movies, gritty partnering, and flesh-centric activism have in common? Danceworks 2023: “Nostalgia for the Night” asks how memory, imagination and camaraderie can guide us to move away from dark moments and relish in hope, joy and light. Northwestern University’s annual contemporary dance showcase features guest artist Molly Shanahan/Mad Shak and the piece Foreshadows of the Flesh as well as School of Communication faculty members Melissa Blanco Borelli, Thomas F. DeFrantz, Erin Kilmurray, and Jeffery Hancock.

Running time is 1 hour and 30 minutes including one 15 minute intermission.
