Will they ever return to the old house in Paris that is covered with vines? Find out more information and buy tickets here!
November 6 & 7 | Tristian Griffin Dance Company Presents: Alinea
In a life full of transitions we spend a great deal of time learning how to delegate and navigate through them. Rarely do we talk about the inception of those conversions. The characters in ALINEA explore “the beginning of a new idea,” and discover that it is not always about the process or how you finish. It is about how things are set in motion from the beginning. Read more about this production here!
As we navigate through this semester together, please stay diligent by taking all safety precautions for the health of everyone. We ask that you follow these measures if you plan to visit the Lawrence Arts Center or take classes in-person:
- Conduct COVID-19 Self-Screening prior to or upon entering the building.
COVID-19 Guidelines and Instructions for students can be found here: https://lawrenceartscenter.org/covid-19-guidelines/
- Minimize presence while inside the building. No congregating in hallways or main public areas of the building.
- Follow Proper Traffic Flow while inside the main building.
