The Department of Dance is excited to announce Thodos Dance Chicago as our Fall 2015 Guest Artist!

Thodos will be in residence in the Department of Dance for two weeks in October of 2015.  During that time, Thodos will audition for and set the original work Subtle Passages on members of the University Dance Company.  In addition, Thodos will teach technique classes in the Department of Dance and host a professional development session with dance students.  The residency will culminate in a joint performance with UDC and Thodos Dance Chicago at the Lied Center of Kansas.

Thodos Dance Chicago was founded in 1992 by Artistic Director, Melissa Thodos, as a hub for dancers to grow, not only as performers, but as well-rounded dance artists. The company’s unique mission of inspiring expression through dance education, dance creation, and dance performance has established TDC as an original force in modern dance for 23 seasons.
