Weird & Wonderful

GOCA and UCCS Visual and Performing Arts department are proud to present Weird and Wonderful, a site-specific dance performance by UCCS Dance Composition II Students, inspired by Martha Russo’s phase shift (wattling). The Weird and Wonderful performance will happen at the Ent Center for the Arts, on Friday, April 26th from 2:30 – 3:45 pm.

UCCS Dance Composition II students step into a realm where movement and art converge in Weird and Wonderful, a site-specific performance amongst the intricate wattle installation of visual artist Martha Russo’s piece, phase shift (wattling).
