“magna feminam artifex”

Choreographer: Claire Patterson

A postmodern work grappling with the institutionalized sexism of the art world, as well as the more general societal constraints forced upon women throughout time.

"The adjudicators at the western regional American College Dance Festival raved about this solo by Claire Patterson. They loved everything about it—her use of gesture, the imagery evoked by her choice of costume, and her treatment of the subject.  They selected this dance as one of the top ten dances in the western United States."
