“Choreography is a creative working process, and our students fully immerse themselves in this collaborative effort,” says Catherine Solaas, assistant professor in the Dance Department. “The showcase is our culminating event. Look for a wide spectrum of dance styles from pure dynamic movement with leaps and bounds to clever narrative dance.”

This spring’s showcase includes 10 dances choreographed by students and 3 pieces choreographed by faculty members Solaas, Darla Johnson, and Roxy Gage.

Tickets are available at the door. General admission is $10; admission is $5 for students and senior citizens. Proceeds benefit the Dance and Drama Scholarship Fund, which assists dance and drama majors with tuition, fees, and books.

A talkback with the performers will follow each show, and a reception will be held opening night. For more information, call 223-3384. To see videos from past showcases, visit the Dance Department webpage.
