Alpha Birthing Zone-from A Brave New World

Brave New World is an original experimental dance theatre production written, directed and produced by Nicholas Johnson and the School of Performing Arts Dance Program, Wichita State University. The audience will rotate in sequence through four locations, Heskett Pool, outside Hubbard Hall, Rhatigan Center, Shocker Courtyard and back to conclude in the pool. This experimental work of physical theatre will, similar to the book by Aldous Huxley, examine the the effects of a conformist society when confronted by the behavior of an outcast individualist. The work is written and directed by Nicholas Johnson, Director of Dance and includes choreography from Denise Celestin, Sabrina Vasquez and Cheyla Chandler.
