CDE Presents: Finger In Your Eye

Artistic Director, Kenneth Balint

Finger In Your Eye is a bold and visceral contemporary dance concert performed by California State University, Fresno’s Contemporary Dance Ensemble under the artistic direction of Kenneth Balint. Featuring dynamic choreography by Balint, CDE Student Choreographer-in-Residence Juana Cardenas, and guest artist Waeli Wang, the program presents six repertory-length works driven by athleticism, precision, and emotional intensity. Through striking physicality and evocative movement, the dancers explore themes of growth and transformation, power and injustice, resistance and resilience, and deeply personal narratives, moving fluidly between chaos and control, dreamlike worlds, and moments of joy and celebration. The result is an immersive, thought-provoking experience that challenges, energizes, and lingers long after the final bow.
