Expand

Thursday, Sept. 15, Margaret H’Doubler Performance Space in Lathrop Hall, 8 pm

WAVES opens the UW-Madison Dance Department’s 90th anniversary season. Yu’s played a key role in helping the department — the first to offer a dance degree — remain innovative and well-regarded. Two alternating programs offer several of Yu’s signature works alongside newer pieces, including a solo “Late Winter” and duet “Fine without me/you?” Yu, who’s still a marvel of sinewy grace, and two of the best interpreters of his work, Yun-Chen Liu and Collette Stewart, will all be performing his solos. Also on the bill is “Mask” from Taiwanese guest choreographer Chien-Kuei Chang. ALSO: Friday (8 pm) and Saturday (2:30 & 8 pm), Sept. 16-17.
