Candace Winters March and 11 dancers attended the international conference, WDAA (World Dance Alliance-Americas) where they performed her piece, Open Veins. Although UDT has, on several occasions, had pieces accepted into national conferences, this is the first time that UDT has been accepted into an international conference. Especially noteworthy is that Art faculty, Susan Czechowski, painted the 3 large art panels that are part of the piece, so two different departments within COFAC were represented at the conference.
This piece has 11 dancers, Kelsey Reed, Keri Dahm, Allison Greene, Liz Francomb, Chelsea Manis, Anrdra Meiners, Molly Stover, Alex Palkovic, Matt Wyss, Maggie Bouslog and Nick Howard. The conference was held May 28th-31, 2009 at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
