The UW-Madison dance department’s concert season opens with professor Jin-Wen Yu’s Faces. Yu is known for thoughtfully weaving in disparate sources of inspiration into his modern dance works. Influences for this concert range from vaudeville to martial arts. Four duets will be featured, including “Facing” with Japanese guest artists Hiroki Koba and Masako Ito. Two larger-scale works will be danced by UW students, and Brooklyn-based choreographer Julie Mayo, at the UW for a residency, will present one of her pieces. ALSO: Friday (8 pm) and Saturday (2:30 pm), Sept. 11-12.
