In the realm of dance, we often find ourselves standing at the intersection of shadow and light. Much like life itself, the balance between darkness and illumination shapes the movement, the story and the creative process.

Shadows & Light is an exploration of that delicate interplay – the moments of clarity that emerge from the murkiness, and the profound understanding that comes from the quiet spaces in between. Join us for an evening that invites you into the beauty of movement as it evolves, reveals, and illuminates the complexities of the human experience in action.

Shadows & Light

Saint Louis University

After a local woman is murdered, the guests and staff at Monkswell Manor find themselves stranded during a snowstorm. It soon becomes clear that the killer is among them, and the seven strangers grow increasingly suspicious of one another.

A police detective, arriving on skis, interrogates the suspects: the newlyweds running the house; a spinster with a curious background; an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef; a retired Army major; a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone.

The Mousetrap is a record-breaking murder mystery from Dame Agatha Christie, the foremost mystery writer of her time. “The Mousetrap” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

The Mousetrap

The interplay between dreams and reality has long fueled human imagination. Our personal ideas, hopes, dreams and nightmares work at the edges of our subconscious awareness often revealing inner dimensions of our lives. Movement is an ideal medium for both contemplation and expression of the lived experience at the liminal intersection of the oneiric and waking mind. Join the student choreographers of SLU Theatre & Dance for an evening of new and original dance artworks that bring dreamscapes into reality.
