The Mansfield show will feature a collaborative performance with Ohio State University dancers and dancers from the Richland Academy for the Arts.   Pieces by graduate students in the Ohio State University Department of Dance, Lucy Dillon and Kierra Williams, will also be shared in this performance.  Come out to join the Ohio State Mansfield community in an evening of dance, March 21 at 6:30 p.m. in Founder’s Auditorium.
