On Friday, April 23 and Saturday, April 24 at 8:00 p.m. in Kraushaar Auditorium, the Goucher Dance Department will present its annual Dancers in Action: Goucher College Spring Dance Concert.
Don't miss this opportunity to enjoy works choreographed by two guest artists, Roger C. Jeffrey and Ann Marie DeAngelo, and pieces choreographed by several current Goucher students.
The concert, as dancer Nicholas Pabst '05 says, "is sure to entertain and invoke every emotion imaginable."
Guest artist Roger C. Jeffrey graduated from Julliard and has worked with artists such as Twyla Tharp and Kevin Iega Jeff, and he participated in Mikhail Baryshnikov's White Oak Dance Project. He has been a teacher, dancer, and/or choreographer at over two dozen schools, companies, and institutes on both the national and international levels.
In 1997, Jeffrey founded Subtle Changes Inc. According to the concert program, Subtle Changes is a non-profit artist collective committed to the presentation, development and exposure of the arts.
According to dance professor Juliet Forrest, Roger Jeffrey's piece in the concert, "Be Still Listen," is "about a community of people who share their greatness and shortcomings" and is set to a score by Jameek Potter.
Guest artist Ann Marie DeAngelo has had experience as a principal dancer and associate artistic director at the Joffrey Ballet of Chicago, in addition to choreographing for companies including the Golden State Ballet and the Nashville Ballet. Her piece, "Mega 21," energetically portrays a student trying to learn yoga from a book.
This spring's concert is largely a showcase of student works.
As student choreographer Anne Legradi '04 said, "this concert will be unlike any other . . . there will be an immense amount of energy put forth this spring!"
Another student choreographer, Meagan Helman '04, created a piece called "Unsquare," which she says "is about the relationship between the music and the movement, as well as the interaction between the dancers. The performers fight over an old-fashioned hat creating a lighthearted and mischievous environment."
