A Deer Walks into a Dance, a world premiere by Fulbright Distinguished Scholar Victoria Marks. In *A Deer Walks into a Dance*, Alpert Award-winning choreographer **Victoria Marks **explores connection in a world of division. Using movement, text, and the deconstruction of a (bad) joke, she and four performers — Rian Alcid, Maya Billig, Karen Chuang, and Aaron Mason — morph into multiplicities of identities, propelled by original music by Simon Chernow. Language and experience vie for dominance, predator and prey lay together and recognize themselves in one another. Image Support provided by the James A. Doolittle Endowment.
