Taft M. Robinson, Class of 2020, BYU MDT ~ In His Own Words:
I was humbled and inspired after working with Jesse [Obremski]. Seeing and experiencing the collaborative process between his vision and us dancers was a real treat. The movement in “Vanish” explored the intricate experiences of connection among people; loneliness, a warm embrace, peaceful solace, seeking others, and community. I loved the opportunity to experience this dance anew in each rehearsal and performance: this piece, to me, is a living and breathing piece of art.I count myself lucky, blessed, and shaped by the opportunities I’ve had as a member of BYU’s MDT program and dancer on CDT this past school year. I love BYU Dance’s focused combination of art and spirituality; and my opportunities to feel God’s influence in performing firsthand. I’m so grateful for my professors and my peers who have cheered me on and allowed me to cheer them on. Thank you to BYU Dance, CDT, and MDT for setting the bar of excellence high and providing the journey to who I am today.
