Blinking - Sat Dec 10, 7:30 PM



Dean College School of Dance presents its first annual Guest Artist Series -- BLINKING features a multi-media contemporary choreographed dance exploration of tiny movement and light created by Providence resident Jamie Jewett and his company LOSTWAX – recently voted Rhode Island’s best dance company.

“We are thrilled to have Jamie here at Dean, not only as part of our faculty but also as part of our Guest Artists Series,” says Deb Nunes, Dance Program Director. “The dramatic relationship between the performers in BLINKING and the digital cinematography come together for a truly imaginative experience. We encourage students and local residents to take advantage of the opportunity to witness amazing artistry in their own back yard.”


Dean College - show time!

Tickets are available online via the Dean College website or at the door.
