UCLA’s Glorya Kaufman Dance Theater
120 Westwood Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90095

un/ending showcases twelve unique dance works, each choreographed by a member of the Class of 2023, including:
Emma-Rose Allen
Gina Basile
Monique Berber
Carmen Casillas

Amane Hirano
Sophia Lin

Serving as both poignant reflection and joyful celebration, these carefully-crafted compositions represent a culmination of learning and achievement at UCLA.
As the cohort enters the final weeks of their undergraduate education, they invite you to witness their choreographic creations – a ceremony that is not a final bow, but instead a recognition of all that is to come: a lifelong performance that is un/ending.
Arrive early to the performance to preview an artistic gallery located in the theater, composed of graphic representations of each dance piece. A reception in the Kaufman Courtyard will follow Saturday’s matinee performance. Light refreshments will be provided, as well as the opportunity to speak with the performers and choreographers!
