Liz Lerman Dance Exchange: Ferocious Beauty: Genome
![]() Inspired by the mapping of the human genome, this multimedia dance piece is the result of a rare collaboration among artists, scientists, and educators. Choreographer Liz Lerman’s multigenerational company brings scientific inquiry to life on stage as it explores the miracles of inheritance, genetic engineering, and medical ethics. The Chicago Sun-Times calls Ferocious Beauty: Genome “beautiful, richly imaginative, hugely ambitious...a seamless blend of dance, music ingenious storytelling, video, and special effects...captivating, surprisingly funny, intensely moving, thought-provoking.” 10 p.m.

Knee Deep and Risin'
The Grossman Gallery, in the Williams Visual Arts Building, is one block from the Delaware River and sits directly over the Bushkill Creek. Both bodies of water have overflowed their banks in recent years. Knee Deep and Risin', created by Jim Toia and Noah Vawter, is a multimedia installation of video and audio feeds from both waterways. Infrared sensors, triggered by visitors' moving the exhibition screens, activate live and recorded video and audio, simulating flood events from fresh perspectives. Knee Deep and Risin' is an interdisciplinary project by Lafayette College's Department of Computer Science, Department of Art, Grossman Gallery, Community Based Teaching Program, and the Lehigh Valley Performing Arts High School.
