SMSU Briefs for Nov. 14

Dancer Tessa Priem to Perform Nov. 19

Dancer Tessa Priem will perform an original, “Inner Reformation: An Autobiography Danced,” at 7:30 p.m. Monday in the Black Box Theatre at Southwest Minnesota State University.

The Black Box Theatre is located in Fine Arts 112. Her performance will be followed by a Q & A session.

In 2016, Priem experienced an intense health crisis that left her near death. Almost two years in the making, she has developed and preformed this powerful dance routine portraying themes of relationships and physical and mental health. From beginning to end, the aesthetic and narrative are both personal and broadly relatable as expressions of human joy, pain, freedom and hope are shared at the deepest level.

The performance is free and open to the public.
