ADMISSON & CAMPUS ACCESS:
Admission is free. Reservations are required. Campus access is limited to registered guests and USC students, staff, and faculty with current USC ID.

RSVP beginning Thursday, January 2, at 10 a.m. 

DESCRIPTION: 
Merging the formats of performance, salon, and lecture demonstration, Kaufman Converge pairs two artists who embody and work through contrasting movement forms and dance ecologies. By colliding their artistry and experiences, we can learn about the vast and unique ways that dance contributes to innovative thinking and a life well lived, and expand upon our capacity to see dancers and dance-adjacent artists as multifaceted global citizens and agents of change.  

Kaufman Converge is curated and hosted by choreographer, dancer, and USC Kaufman School of Dance lecturer Amy O’Neal, who merges hip hop, house, contemporary dance, and experimental performance in her work and research. Previous Kaufman Converge pairs have included Yoda Love Jones (The Lady Boogaloos, The Waackers) with Larkin Poynton Olabarria (Side by Side Dance Company, Black 1750, Murmuration) and Waacking icon Kumari Suraj with B-Girl Rascal Randi.  

Please check back for the announcement of this year’s Kaufman Converge pair! 

Presented by USC Visions and Voices. Organized by the USC Kaufman School of Dance.
