Joining UGA student artists the Staibdance company and guest artists will share the evening program performing excerpts from 2016's critically acclaimed work moat. Artistic Director, George Staib reflects on his memories of immigrating from Iran to a small Pennsylvania town during the Iran Hostage Crisis. Fueled by heightened anti-Middle Eastern sentiment in the United States, some locals reacted with hostility, throwing tear gas into the family's yard and bullying the kids at school. The work raises questions of self-protection.
