Jeremy Nedd: University Musical Society
Apr. 3 & 4. Performance of Brooklyn-born, Switzerland-based choreographer and dancer Nedd’s new work, from rock to rock … aka how magnolia was taken for granite, expands, inverts, and plays with variations on the viral dance move “Milly Rock.” The move was popularized by Brooklyn rapper 2 Milly, who sued when it was used in the video game Fortnite. To an eclectic recorded score, 5 dancers, including Nedd, explore viral dance in the age of TikTok, along with ideas about cultural appropriation and authorship, over a “collective, playful, and thought-provoking evening,” as a Strand reviewer put it. Age 12+. 7:30 p.m., Power Center. Tickets $28–$50 in advance (students, $15–$20) at tickets.ums.org and (734) 764–2538.
