Brazos Dance Collective

Brazos Contemporary Dance Festival Masterclasses 2025

“Journey to Hope,” a story of immigration through modern dance, will be performed by Dance Science students on Saturday, May 4, with free showings at 6 and 8 p.m.

Choreographed by Carisa Armstrong, program director and associate professor, and Christine Bergeron, associate dean for academic affairs and clinical professor for the program, “Journey to Hope” will share the perspective of immigrants on their way to their future home. To showcase the constant motion, the audience will see sections of the work in multiple locations: across the courtyard and inside classrooms and the Black Box Theater in the Liberal Arts and Arts and Humanities Building.

At the courtyard, the dancers will perform in a pool that represents a large body of water that immigrants would have crossed during their travels. The pool was built by Jam Martinez, the school’s production manager, and Jeff Watson, the school’s theatre facility coordinator. It is 16 feet by 30 feet and will hold about 4 inches of water.
