North University and Thayer Street directly adjacent to Hill Auditorium will be closed for construction during the 2026 fall semester. We recommend event attendees arrive early, anticipate limited parking, and consider public transit options.
Construction will limit access to the Thayer Street Parking Structure. The Power Center Fletcher Street Parking Structure or the Palmer Structure are the nearest alternatives.

Leyya Mona Tawil and collaborators in “Happy Days Finale”
Multipurpose Room, Trotter Multicultural Center, 428 S State St, Ann Arbor, MI 48109

The Center for World Performance Studies hosts an informal showing of Happy Days Finale, a new performance work by Leyya Mona Tawil in collaboration with Zari Lionudakis (dance), John MacDoughall Parker (music), and Scott Tallenger (costume). What does happiness mean in a time of revolution? With each day anew, what is our capacity for communion, grief, resistance, chance? In a world of relentless injustice and collapse, we question what is ending and what is beginning. DANCE ELIXIR’s Happy Days Finale is an invitation to test these questions, in body and time. This work-in-progress showing will be followed by Q&A with the guest artists.
