U of U Dancers

Members of Salt Lake City and the surrounding communities are graciously invited to UMFA  to watch Tolerance in Motion, an innovative dance performance in the G.W. Anderson Family Great Hall.

Tolerance in Motion is a workshop lead by Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company professionals that asks 14 young dancers from East High School, West High School, and Salt Lake School for the Performing Arts to join in a creative process that explores the idea of tolerance through the visual and performing arts.These young dancers will receive a brief lecture and history on the accompanying  exhibition, The International Tolerance Project: Promoting Dialogue Through Design, in Utah Museum of Fine Arts’ (UMFA) ACME Lab before collaborating together to make their own large-scale tolerance posters in UMFA’s Great Hall. The dancers will then embark in a workshop of dance, exploring tolerance kinetically in that same space. The visual products created in this workshop will have the opportunity to live-on and promote tolerance at other community locales. The International Tolerance Project: Promoting Dialogue Through Design will be on view January 17–June 23, 2019.
