Jeremy Nedd
from rock to rock… aka how magnolia was taken for granite
April 3-4, 2026 // Power Center
The balance between exploitation and expression.
Brooklyn-born choreographer Jeremy Nedd dives into the complexities of dance ownership and cultural appropriation. The performance centers on the “Milly Rock,” a dance move created by rapper 2 Milly which became the subject of a legal dispute after being incorporated into the video game Fortnite without acknowledgment. Five talented dancers explore the “ownership” of a viral dance move in the age of virality.
