An Iowa tradition connects writers from around the world and Department of Dance students.  

Every year, the University of Iowa's International Writing Program welcomes distinguished writers from around the world for a three-month residency. Select visiting writers connect with students and faculty in the UI Department of Dance to develop a collaborative performance. Dancers and writers converse across written, spoken, and movement languages, but also through a shared creative practice. This year's performance, "Dialogic Works in Progress: a sharing of collaborative exchanges and embodied experiments between dancemakers and writers," explores the intersections of dance and writing and celebrates the power of creative reciprocity.

This program features IWP Fellows Agnes Chew, Siddharth Dasgupta, Tomás Downey, Hyukin Michaela Kwon, Grig Shashikyan, and Ching Hang Wong alongside choreographers Bea Beaman, Zena Bibler, Lola Buczkowski, Rosie DeAngelo, Hutch Hagendorf, Kristin Marrs, Lauren Linder, David Liu, and Yoshito Sakuraba. The event will conclude with a short Q&A with the artists.
