INTERVIEW WITH CHOREOGRAPHER LAUREN ROSS

 

Lauren has been dancing at ACC since 2022 but is a lifelong athlete and learner with a passion for movement, academics, and teaching. Serving as a mathematics professor, a gymnastics coach, and a private tutor, she seeks to bring creative approaches to analytic endeavors. As a competitive gymnast and tennis player, she loves to bring athleticism and strength into her work. She thrives on staying busy with the things she loves, finding joy in pursuing her passions, and sharing them with the people who inspire her. Her Erdös-Bacon number is 5.

Set Theory is the branch of mathematics that studies collections of objects. Set Theory, her piece, is an exploration of our personal and interpersonal unions and intersections. What are our passions? Who is most important in our lives? How many different ways can we piece together all of these things? And which combination is the right one?
