Hopkins Center for the Arts

The Hopkins Center will present a week-long campus/community residency with Dada Masilo’s company, including two public performances of “Swan Lake,” with its mixture of recognizable musical and dance tropes of the classic—on one hand—and fresh and unusual additions of theater, humor, traditional South African dance and the specters of AIDS and homophobia—on the other. The engagement’s January schedule enables a strong connection to Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, particularly engaging for our campus as we seek to illustrate the connection between contemporary civil rights and gender, sexuality, and international health struggles.
