Visiting Artist Laura Peterson will be joined by members of her New York City-based company Laura Peterson Choreography to present a new work in progress called “Untitled Diagrams,” which is inspired by graphic equations from the field of linguistics and philosophy.
Peterson’s work has been performed in Europe, South America and in New York City venues such as PS 122 and Lincoln Center Out-of-Doors. The company appeared at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in 2013, and the following year Peterson was awarded a Fellowship at the Bogliasco Foundation in Italy.
