Boston Conservatory at Berklee's fall Center Stage season continues with an annual tradition highlighting sophomores, juniors, and seniors in the contemporary dance BFA program.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on October 24 through 26, and 2:00 p.m. on October 26 and 27.

From the Ground Up will showcase an original program of six stylistically diverse world premieres created by guest artists and two Boston Conservatory dance faculty members. Featured guest artists include Hope Boykin, dancer, choreographer, artistic advisor for dance education for the Kennedy Center, and artistic lead for the Kennedy Center Dance Lab; Boston Conservatory alum Christina Chan (BFA '10, dance), a dancer, choreographer, and creator; Norbert De La Cruz III, performer, choreographer, instructor, and artist-scholar; and Andrew Skeels, artistic director, choreographer, and recipient of the 2018 Grand Prix de la Critique. Boston Conservatory dance faculty members Junichi Fukuda and Daniel Pelzig will also premiere new works at the concert.

From the Ground Up is one of our most beloved Dance Division traditions here at the Conservatory, featuring all of our sophomore, junior, and senior contemporary dance majors performing the works of prominent guest artists and faculty members, said Tommy Neblett, dean of dance for Boston Conservatory at Berklee and artistic director of From the Ground Up. We are thrilled to be presenting six world premieres at this year's concert, which will be an incredible showcase of dance innovation and creative talent.
