The Bryn Mawr College Performing Arts Series announced its line-up this week. Two celebrated dance companies grace the Series: Urban Bush Women will re-open historic Goodhart Theater after its $19 million renovation and Australia’s Lucy Guerin Inc. will open the season with Corridor, a site specific work.

The Performing Arts Series partners with New York’s Baryshnikov Arts Center to present the first Philadelphia performances by Australian dance group Lucy Guerin Inc . The company is internationally renowned for its innovative choreographic concepts and exceptional dancers. In Corridor , set on a long, narrow strip of space, performers explore movement generated from language and respond to ordinary and extraordinary commands transmitted via MP3 players, speakers, and cellphones. Friday and Saturday, Sept. 25 and 26, 8 and 10 p.m. in Thomas Great Hall.

Resistance, memory, and love drive Les écailles de la mémoire (The scales of memory), a penetrating movement treatise exploring the convergence of African and U.S. history. Bryn Mawr is honored to present the women’s section from this collaboration between Germaine Acogny, a legend in her native Senegal, and Jawole Willa Jo Zollar’s all-female, Brooklyn-based Urban Bush Women . In addition, Acogny will dance her new solo “Songook Yakaar” and Pape Ibrahima Ndiaya (Kaolack), her star male dancer, will present “J’Accuse,” which took first prize at the 2008 Danse Afrique Danse Concours. Saturday, Feb. 13, at 8 p.m., Goodhart Theater.
