Show Description
NOISE explores the sounds that shape our lives—both heard and unheard. Through movement, the work examines the emotional, mental, and physical noise that surrounds us every day: expectations, distractions, memories, relationships, and the constant demand for attention. Contrasting moments of chaos with profound stillness, NOISE asks what happens when the volume rises—and when silence becomes its own kind of deafening presence.

Cast and Crew
Lian DelaBarre
DancerHello! My name’s Lian - I started dancing in 2010 at Midwest Youth Dance Theatre, and continue to perform today as a member of the UMN’s Dance Collective! Dance is my way of expressing the feelings that words can’t quite give weight to. I am so lucky to be performing alongside such talented dancers and friends, and I hope our show can give you a new perspective! Since beginning her dance career in 2010 at Midwest Youth Dance Theatre, Lian has explored a wide variety of dance styles, including ballet, lyrical, contemporary, jazz, musical theatre, tap, hip hop, and pointe. In college, she continues to perform with the Dance Collective at the University of Minnesota. They believe that dance is a way of expressing that which words cannot convey, and hopes the show introduces a new perspective when looking at - and living through - the Noise.

I’ve taught at MYDT for the past 4 years and love sharing my passion for dance with the next generation of dancers. My favorite styles are jazz, contemporary, and ballet, and I love using movement to tell stories and connect with audiences. One of my favorite dance memories has to be performing in two live shows alongside artist Aaron Rice. I hope you enjoy the show!

Marissa Starr
DancerMarissa Starr was an Assistant Coach to the Holy Angels Junior Varsity Dance Team for 2 years. She now teaches ballet technique at Midwest Youth Dance Theatre. She was in a short film by a local artist in which she danced in mimicry with birds. Marissa also created a book surrounding her experience with dance through self portraits called Of Body and Mind and two videos where she explored choreography titled Transitions and Ghost Trees. Overall Marissa mainly works with photography and alternate photography processes. She specializes in nature photography and projects surrounding identity. She focuses on bringing her perspective of nature in hopes that viewers can find the beauty of the natural world and appreciation for it. Marissa also hopes to learn more about the history of lands and things in the land to bring knowledge about certain aspects of it through her artwork. Within this context she also focuses on seeking out what her place in nature is, especially since people are often very detached from the natural world.
