Fresh Sesh is the freshman, Class of 2029’s, Spring semester showcase. All works are choreographed and performed by the freshman class. The chemistry and friendships that have so quickly formed are evident as not only the dancers moved together in the pieces but as they transitioned from piece to piece, flowing from one work of art to another, giving from their own to each other. As their professor d. Sabela Grimes remarked, this performance is about community first.

From Daytona Beach to Kansas City to Nashville to Seattle, with bag packed he navigates the airport, boards the plane, looks out the window at the city he’s leaving, anticipating the city to which he is traveling. He works a grueling weekend, squeezes in meals when he can, survives on minimal sleep, bandaids sore feet, spends as much time as he can with the other Collective members, builds relationships with the faculty and gives high fives, words of encouragement, and genuine smiles to every dancer he encounters. Every interaction fuels him, every dance step validates and reaffirms, every moment is a moment he wants to live in for as long as possible.
