Lessons on Loss: The Choreography of Letting Go

On February 2, Kori Wakamatsu, associate professor for the BYU Department of Dance, will present the next lecture for the 2022-23 Faith + Works lecture series. Presented by different faculty within the College of Fine Arts and Communications, these lectures feature the intersection of speakers’ religious beliefs and their professions.

Wakamatsu will use her religious, academic and personal experiences to show how accepting and persevering through loss can inspire positive reflection and growth.
