U of U School of Dance presents Continuum

The University of Utah School of Dance presents Continuum at the Marriott Center for Dance from November 12 to 21, 2026. It's a showcase that puts the school's own faculty choreographers and re-stagers center stage, and it marks the second Korean universities exchange project the school has hosted.

The guest of honor is Dr. Hyoungnam Kim, a professor at Sejong University in Korea and the general director of Toetmaru Dance Company. He's created a new contemporary work specifically for the UU students to perform, so you'll be seeing something that didn't exist until this collaboration brought him here. Alongside that, faculty members Christine McMillan and Satu Hummasti will be presenting their own new contemporary and neo-classical works, which means the bill pulls from a few different dance traditions in one evening.

There's a familiar touch in the mix, too: an excerpt from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker, staged by faculty member Luc Vanier. Between the new contemporary pieces and a nod to one of the most recognizable ballets in the world, the program covers a fair amount of ground.

There are performances on November 12, 13, 19, 20, and 21. On Thursdays and Fridays, there are two showtimes: 5:30 to 7:30 PM and 7:30 to 9:30 PM. Saturdays have a 2:00 to 4:00 PM matinee and a 7:30 to 9:30 PM evening show. If you can't make it to the Marriott Center for Dance in person, there's a free livestream available, and students get free access with their UCard Arts Pass.
