The Department of Dance at SUNY Brockport presents performances of DANCE/Strasser on Thursday, April 3, through Saturday, April 5, in the Rose L. Strasser Studio in Hartwell Hall on the Brockport campus.
Artistic Director and dance faculty Heather Acomb says the concert is a really nice mix of first-time and seasoned student choreographers. “Also, And” choreographed and performed by MFA candidate Reign Capers looks at identity of self, and sophomore Gianna Santivenere’s group work “The Weight of Us” looks at how we rely on others for support. Annika Winters’ “Coconut” and Khristian Moffett’s “Cock-a-Doodle-Doo says the Rooster” are engaging, witty and playful works. The show also features strong group choreography by Sofia Bianco and Autumn Gardner, and storytelling through dance in Iyana Voltaire’s “Just Dance.”
Each night of the performance will include a short, moderated talk-back session with different student choreographers each evening.
Tickets are $20 for the general public, $15 for senior citizens, Brockport alumni, faculty and staff, and $9 for students. They are available online at www.fineartstix.brockport.edu, over the phone at 585-395-2787, or in-person at the Tower Fine Arts Center Box Office (hours listed on website).
