Become part of the art when you jump into Art on the Move Family Day, presented by the Wexner Center and Ohio State's top-rated Department of Dance. At this family day, you'll feel the energy as Ohio State students perform works by faculty and guest choreographers. You'll enjoy Victoria Uris's The Elephant Sneezed, two works by Susan Hadley danced to music for percussion ensemble, and a playful fusion of break dance and other forms by guest choreographer Doug Elkins.

You can also join students and faculty as they share their latest innovations in technology, choreography, and performance. Be inspired to create your own art in motion through movement workshops, an interactive multimedia activity, and a hands-on art project that you can take home. You'll also watch dance films and join live dance improvisations throughout the building.

Presented by the Wexner Center and Ohio State's Department of Dance.
