Yonder Contemporary Dance Company

Yonder Contemporary Dance Company is an internationally focused performing arts student organization. We perform a run of evening length works for an international audience on a biennial schedule. Planning, choreographing, rehearsing and promoting of this event is a year long process and requires collaboration between students from multiple colleges and schools within the University, such as Dance, Advertising and Public Relations, and Music. By doing so, we develop a network of creative collaborators.

As a means of preparing for the international performances, we perform our show locally as well as regionally. This is one of the ways that we build awareness of—and appreciation for—contemporary dance being choreographed and performed at The University of Alabama. After these preparatory showings we gather feedback from audience members as well.

Active membership requires the students to be enrolled at The University of Alabama during the Fall and Spring semesters prior to the Summer international performance. As members graduate, we will continually develop an alumni base that grows our network of professional connections.
