The department has instituted Community Previews, for which there will be 100 tickets available for $5 each (by the usual means) for many of their performances. The Hartwell preview will take place on Wednesday, November 6, at 7:30 p.m. These showings do not qualify for required student attendance.
Artistic director and faculty member, Janet Schroeder, has curated a program of innovative work by up-and-coming choreographers within the undergraduate and graduate programs. This year’s DANCE/ Hartwell features “Introducing,” a tap dance for nine by graduate student Frankie Soldevere, in which the dancers play with unison and counterpoint in spatially exciting ways. “In-between Spaces,” by Danish exchange student Nanna Ringbo, is a trio that explores a series of gestures in tight places and expansive terrain. Also on the program is “La coeur de fleurine,” by Carrie McVay, in which a solo ballerina performs inventive movements that bring a rich expressiveness to the ballet vocabulary.
Dances made by Emily Conn, Holly Diehl, Mary Fish, Georden Emily Gesford, Natalie Halady, Lucy Mundshau, Sophie Nash, Jocelyn Schimpf, and Rachel Steinkamp will also be showcased in the concert.
