Description: <br><br>
<b>Love on Mars</b>, choreographed by <b>Hannah Schwadron</b>, MFA
candidate in Dance, features shifting tempos of chaos, escape, euphoria,
and fear. It imagines the labors of displacement and relocation,
choreographing a Jewish refugee history, literally en route.<br><br>
Sponsored by the Department of Dance.<br><br>
<b>Details<br>
</b><i>Love on Mars</i> imagines "space" as a projected reality
where fantasy intends to reveal the truly weird ways we think and act in
the world. Projections of outer space and the possibility of romance on
Mars envision an illogical world that starts to look more familiar than
not. Known for its toxic soil and harsh conditions unfit for humans, the
planet named for war sets a strange scene for looking at our own visions
of expansion, empire, and manifest destiny. Science fiction tropes of
space travel reflect an absurdist journey marked by specific references
to the escape of the choreographer's grandmother from Nazi Germany during
the years of WWII. Through imagery that evokes the conflicting feelings
and tempos of chaos, escape, euphoria, power and fear, <i>Love on
Mars</i> aims to embody the complexities of migration, displacement, and
the labors of relocation, telling a refugee history, literally en
route.<br><br>
<b>Biography<br>
Hannah Schwadron</b> is working to complete an MFA in Experimental
Choreography at the University of California, Riverside, and is
researching the contemporary implications of Jewish family history as

She is a four-time award recipient of the Gluck Fellows Program of the
Arts, through which she has presented original choreography to local
audiences and offered community-based arts programming for over two
years. Hannah has studied dance and Qi Gong primarily under New

She currently dances with Susan Rose and Dancers, and teaches vinyasa
