As part of the Penny Stamps Lecture Series at the University of Michigan School of Art & Design, the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange will perform excerpts from Ferocious Beauty: Genome on April 5th at 5pm in the Michigan Theatre, Ann Arbor, MI.

Liz Lerman, founder and artistic director of the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange, recently completed a four-year collaboration between scientists and choreographers culminating in Ferocious Beauty: Genome, a multi media dance/theater work that explores the human implications of discoveries in genetic science. Created with geneticists from organizations including The Institute for Genomic Research, Wesleyan University, Stanford University, Princeton University and Howard University, Ferocious Beauty has toured from Connecticut to California, deepening dialogue between science and the arts. Lerman will be joined by two dancers who will perform excerpts from Ferocious Beauty: Genome.
