"Terrain Dance Project Choreographer Spotlight: Guest Artist, Jill Guyton Nee
“Sweetpotato Suite,” by Jill Guyton Nee, in collaboration with dancers, is a trio inspired by the North Carolina Sweetpotato Commission's mission and production process. With movement generated by choreographer and dancers, the work is a reflection of planting, growth, harvest, and storage of the orange vegetable. With thoughtful fun and pensive flair, the dancers swipe, dig, toss, carry, and glean the space around them in representation of the farmer's tender care during a year in the life of the N.C. Covington Sweetpotato.
Come see Jill's work April 17 at 2pm and April 18 at 7pm at The Corner on Centennial Campus! Free and open to the public."
