50th Anniversary Tour
The Otherland
Oct. 9 SFJAZZ Collective
Tribute to Michael Jackson
Choreography by Bailey Anderson and Rosely Conz
Nov. 6 Irish Chamber Orchestra
Gábor Takács-Nagy,
conductor
This work comes from two MFA Thesis projects by Bailey Anderson and Rosely Conz. It is an experiment
in collaboration and content blending. Two different areas of research around distinct themes - foreignness
and disability - come together on stage to create a unique place, “The Otherland.” The result is a montage
of powerful scenes, both nonsensical and direct, that coexist and collide within a shared live experience. In
this space, we (dancers, choreographers, audience) can experience the mix of feelings, the disorientation
and discrimination, related to being an Other.
Dec. 11 Soweto Gospel Choir

After the show, we invite you to stay and chat with us about the work. We would like to answer questions
about our process of creation and hear your own experience as a viewer of this show.
