Rachel Barker Awarded Alfred Lambourne Prize

https://youtu.be/hz5Ltt2KaCg

Assistant Professor Rachel Barker won the Alfred Lambourne Prize for movement this year! This is a program connected to the Friends of Great Salt Lake organization and calls for works of art inspired by or utilizing and including the Great Salt Lake. Barker submitted a film entitled “Sand Body Sky”. She is the dancer/choreographer, but the filming and editing was done by students. McCall McClellan was the videographer, and film student Kate McKellar edited the film.

McClellan is currently working on a second rendition that will be exciting to see. 

The full catalogue of all the artists’ work is worth browsing through, with lots of various artistic genres represented. The first few pages explain the program and event, and Barker’s work is the very first listed — the fourth page in. The film is just under three minutes. Or the direct YouTube link is here.

The complete winners announcement is shortened list of recipients. 

Congratulations to our talented faculty and students on these collaborative endeavors during COVID-19! This film was made this in late April/May 2020, in the thick of the shutdown.
