Although I spoke to Jenna Purcell hours before the opening of the student run, student choreographed student produced dance show, Random With a Purpose, I felt I only truly understood her when I saw her perform her dance.
Jenna Purcell, director of the production, spoke with me about the history of random, the importance of having a dance program on the UC Santa Cruz campus and how the the sense of community that "Random" provides has made this an enjoyable experience for her.
I went to see one of the dress rehearsals so I could speak with Jenna privately and was blown away by the amount of talent within my peers. I was recognized a few of the dancers from past classes and was shocked and delighted to see them express their talent and to have an outlet to do so.
Below is a photograph of Jenna Purcell during her solo performance during this year's production.
