Performances
The BFA Spring Showcase ran April 14 and 15, 2023 at Angelico Hall, with four original works by BFA faculty choreographers Sarah Lisette Chiesa, Brett Conway, Gregory Dawson and Anne-René Petrarca. Sarah's website lists 'Project Adjust 1-5' at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts under 'Lines BFA 24'' (date not given). In Nov 2025 Sarah asked to reuse the music for a cut-down version (12 minutes maximum) of the piece in the spring 2026 concert at the University of Arizona School of Dance; Ben agreed.
