DANCE IN CONCERT
Montana Theatre | March 3-6, 2010 | 7:30 PM
The stage comes alive with an exhilarating evening of new, extraordinary choreography by faculty, students, and guest artists. A stunning performance, Dance in Concert presents the innovation and creativity cultivated in dances of diverse styles and approaches. This concert features Prey, choreographed by American master artist Bebe Miller. Prey speaks to the universality one experiences through the struggles and beauties of everyday life with powerful movements, vocalizations, and connections between dancers on stage and the audience. The reconstruction of Prey was made possible by American Masterpieces: Dance, a program of the National Endowment for the Arts, which is administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts with Dance/USA.
