$20 adult / $15 studentSpring Dance will highlight the strengths of both ballet and contemporary students with works that explore diverse ends of the respective disciplines.
The program will include “Shostakovich Suite” choreographed in 2013 for the Dance Theatre of Harlem’s professional training program by Endalyn T. Outlaw (née Taylor), dean of Dance and set to Dimitri Shostakovich’s Jazz Suite. Dean Outlaw will restage the work for the dance students with tutus designed and created by Jenna Anderson (B.F.A. Design and Production ‘22).
Contemporary students will perform iconic modern choreographer Merce Cunningham’s “Travelogue,” set to John Cage’s “Telephones and Birds,” in its first staging since its final performance by the Merce Cunningham Dance Company on October 14, 1979 at Théâtre de la Ville in Paris. “Travelogue” has an episodic structure and will feature eight dancers engaged in a series of antic encounters. Cage’s score will be comprised of recordings of bird songs and recorded telephone messages, and The School of Design & Production will reconstruct the original set and costume design of Robert Rauschenberg. This project is a collaboration of the Merce Cunningham Trust and the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, in agreement with the John Cage Trust and the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.
The performance will also include the premier of a new work by alumnus Ashley Lindsey (College Arts Diploma, Dance, ’07). Lindsey is currently a visiting professor and the director of the Summer Dance program. His new piece will be a large-scale ensemble work that explores the theme of trust and its various layers. The choreography will utilize Lindsey's signature virtuosic and physical movement vocabulary.
