Sponsored by the College of Fine Arts Connoisseur series with funding by the Sam and Rie Bloomfield Foundation and the Annie Guest Artist Fund, this event is presented in partnership with the WSU School of Performing Arts and Ulrich Museum.

Join us for an inspiring evening with Kirven Douthit-Boyd, an internationally recognized dancer, choreographer, educator, and Artistic Director of Saint Louis Dance Theatre. 

Whether you are a dance enthusiast, artist, student, or simply curious about the creative process, this program offers a rare opportunity to experience the work and insights of one of the leading voices in contemporary dance today. 

The evening will begin with a screening of one of Douthit-Boyd’s acclaimed dance works, followed by a conversation exploring his artistic practice, creative process, and the power of movement as a form of storytelling. Drawing on a career that includes eleven years with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Douthit-Boyd brings a unique perspective on performance, collaboration, community engagement, and the role of contemporary dance in today’s world.
