This six-woman dance concert highlights great women mathematicians throughout history, with exciting dance, theatricality, and humor. Beginning with the ancient scholar Hypatia, the concert celebrates their lives and struggles to create groundbreaking mathematics. The dancers recount intriguing stories from the women’s lives and weave beautiful patterns suggestive of their mathematical work. Included are playful dances with oversize hoops, a rhythm dance using plastic water bottles, a trio for six hands, and a kaleidoscopic video dance. A new dance section salutes the groups of women who did important mathematical work at the dawn of the computer, code-breaking, and space age.

Performers: Long-time company members Saki, Jane Real, and Laurel Shastri, and guest artists Brianna Wilbon, Devin Ellis, and Lisa Brenner.
