The eighth annual Contemporary Dance Ensemble spring production, “Epistêmê,” will run through Feb. 24 at the John Wright Theatre in the Speech Arts building at Fresno State.

The production is a series of five new, original, contemporary dance works and one returning favorite, created specifically for the ensemble. Choreography is provided by Fresno State theatre arts professor Kenneth Balint, Fresno State dance major Nathalie Quiros and guest international dance artists and choreographers Janelle Paris and Anandha Ray.

“Epistêmê” is an ancient Greek philosophical term that can refer to knowledge, science or understanding. The concert is centered around the ability of both the dancers’ and the audience members’ kinetic and cerebral understanding of what is happening at the present moment.
