"Still Crossing: Expressing Identities, Building Communities" Creating dialogue through dance: Liz Lerman addresses the intersection of art and community Oct. 17, 2008 -- Dancer, choreographer, and creative/performance artist Liz Lerman, together with WUSTL faculty, will participate in a panel discussion on the intersection of art and community called "Still Crossing: Expressing Identities, Building Communities" for the Assembly Series at 4 p.m. Thursday, October 30 in the Women's Building Lounge, on the Danforth Campus. The panel discussion, free and open to the public, includes Sunita Parikh, Ph.D., associate professor of political science in Arts & Sciences, and Robert Hansman, associate professor of architecture in the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts. Lerman created the dance, "Still Crossing" to address issues of immigration, transition and the meaning of "home" and "community." Lerman will be in residence at Washington University to restage this now-classic dance for a student performance in December as the end piece of this project (see accompanying announcement for details.)
