At the peak of each season in Dallas, at lunchtime, the Meadows Hope Lobby is packed with an audience rapt in attention. On stage is the Brown Bag Dance Series, 10-15 performances of original, student-choreographed ballet, modern and jazz works, from the Division of Dance. Every semester, it runs for one week. This fall, there were 12 exciting, innovative performances. Meadows presents some, not all, of these mini-shows in GIF form. These are a few of our favorites:
