The USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance presented its annual Spring Showcase from April 29 to May 2, 2025, at the Bing Theatre. This much-anticipated conclusion to the spring semester featured dynamic performances by BFA dance majors, celebrating both new creative voices and iconic choreography.

The program highlighted six new works, including three world premieres by USC Kaufman faculty members Kyle Abraham, Ebony Haswell Frazier, and Josette Wiggan. Additional premieres came from Artists-in-Residence Jillian Meyers and Kaufman alumnus Jakevis Thomason (Class of 2020).

Audiences were also treated to a reimagining of a Martha Graham masterpiece, staged by répétiteur Elizabeth Auclair, along with an excerpt from the repertoire of Jiří Kylián, set by faculty member Fiona Lummis Eddy and guest artist Urtzi Aranburu.
