On Tuesday, February 26, following a panel discussion on the same topic, the U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance Faculty and Staff Allies Network will present a performance addressing the issue of sexual and gender-based misconduct in the performing arts.

Featured performers will include Colleen Bernstein, an SMTD Master’s student in percussion performance and chamber music, Carla Dirlikov Canales, mezzo-soprano, SMTD alumna, and founder of the Canales Project, and Nicole Reehorst, SMTD MFA student.

The event will take place in Hankinson Rehearsal Hall in the Earl V. Moore Building on North Campus. Admission is free, but registration on the Eventbrite page is recommended. The panel discussion will take place from 6-7:15 pm, and the performance will take place from 7:30-8:30 pm. All are welcome to attend one or both portions.
