The Umbrella

The University of Utah Tanner Dance Program’s Children’s Dance Theatre celebrates its 75th Anniversary with the premiere of The Umbrella.

A family of scientists dreams of exploring the cosmos with their magical umbrella ship, The Stargazer. Disaster strikes their planet, Pluvia, and the world becomes dark and isolated. When their mother mysteriously disappears, twin siblings Stella and Leo set off with their father across the galaxy to find her. As they journey to distant worlds, they discover the key to returning light and hope to their home.

Tanner Dance Studio Program Presents:
Ring Around the Rose

This year as we celebrate the legacy and long-standing history of this treasured arts institution, we want to begin at the very start, where dance as a language begins for us.  Whatever the inspiration, dance is a language, a moving language that creates a beautiful visual image that is fleeting and lingering.  In honor of our 75th anniversary, we are excited to share The Poetry of Dance, a collection of dance and poetry that will fill you up with the joy of creativity.
