The School of Dance celebrates an evening of premieres in their 2022 Gala Concert, returning to Kingsbury hall for this performance April 1 & 2, 2022. The dance students performing in the Gala are joined by the student musicians of The Utah Philharmonia, conducted by Dr. Robert Baldwin. The evening promises to be a delight for the senses and celebrates live performances presented by the College of Fine Arts.

The Gala presents an evening of mixed repertory featuring the talents form choreographers and students in both Ballet and Modern Dance, with premieres by Faculty Artists Christopher Alloways-Ramsey, Jay Kim, and Brent Schneider, along with Guest Artists Chun-Lin Tseng and Natosha Washington.  Each choregographer brings a unique point of view of the world of dance with their latest creations.

Flower Festival at Genzano, originally choreographed by August Bournonville is restaged by Christopher Alloways-Ramsey and expanded into a ‘suite’ with original choreography from Alloways-Ramsey. The complex choreography highlights two young people in love in 1858, Genzano, Italy during the annual Festival of Flowers.

In The World In Reverse, guest artist and alumna Natosha Washington visually explores a haunting quote, “every night I dream of a place. A world that was made for me. I’m beginning to lose faith in dreams…” The stage is filled with performers in the large cast, bringing Ms. Washington’s vision to glorious fruition.

Brent Schneider presents a foray into the combination of live and video performers in his new work Experiment #84. Schneider has in the past presented several works that combine visual projections, however, he discovers new possibilities with this latest work, thanks to the advances in video editing technologies. “The body in motion continues to captivate me,” explains Schneider, “these additional layers are still based on the human body’s kinetic potential.” The score is all “vintage” recordings from Laurie Anderson, edited by Schneider.

Faculty Artist Jay Kim collaborates with guest artist Chun-Lin Tseng to create a new vision of Carmen for the second act of the performance. Jay Kim explains, “unconstrained by the times and norms of society, Carmen represents the independence of a strong free spirit that loves passionately with freedom from inhibition.” Carmen Suite by Schedrin/Bizet will be performed by The Utah Philharmonia, Conducted by Dr. Robert Baldwin.

Tickets are available at tickets.utah.edu. This is an Arts Pass event, U students get in free with UCard.
Both performances will also be live streamed at dance.utah.edu/virutalshows for those unable to attend the live performance at Kingsbury Hall.

The School of Dance at the University of Utah presents a dance concert of thesis works from Modern Dance MFA candidates Jessica Boone, Virginia Broyles, and Austin Hardy. 

“We have been working hard alongside our casts of performers to create an evening of energetic ensembles, shifting images, and whimsical curiosities that will linger after you’ve left the theater,” said Broyles.

Something Whole and Unfinished is a collaborative work of dance and art directed by Jessica Boone. The performers shape a new piece during each performance. A colorful world is crafted on stage where impulse leads dancers through choreography and where the performers leave their mark on stage and on each other. 

Virginia Broyles immerses you into mischievous surrealism, dream logic, and playfully uncanny moments in Hand-stitched Electric. Made in collaboration with the performers and an 8-foot white box, this work is best when taken with a side of “Why not?”. 

Austin Hardy and dancers present Cyber Synesthesia, a piece that examines digital social platforms in which metaphysical spaces have real life consequences. This work aims to reflect on being an individual in a group and the connectivity and isolation we experience from social platforms. #viral #dance #goodsoup

Next up in the School of Dance 2021/22 season lineup is Fall Dance II, which presents premier works by faculty members Melissa Bobick, Molly Heller, Alexandra Barbier, Satu Hummasti and Daniel Clifton, along with guest artist Ephrat Asherie.

“Their works are realized through and showcase dancers in the School of Dance at the University from both the Modern Dance Program and Ballet Program,” concert director and assistant professor, Daniel Clifton noted.

Fall Dance II historically provides a feast of dance varieties, highlighting the deeply diverse talent and professionalism of the School of Dance students, as well as an opportunity to work with an esteemed guest choreographer in the field. In the case of Fall Dance II, that guest artist is Ephrat Asherie, artistic director of Ephrat Asherie Dance, a dance company rooted in African American and Latinx street and social dances and based in New York City.

“Together, the choreographers and dancers have spent many hours in the studio creating dances that celebrate creativity, physicality, humanity, and the quest to discover more about ourselves, each other, and the world around us,” added Clifton. 

From the Choreographers

HYPE — Alexandra Barbier
Juxtaposing fun, playfulness, and humor with poise, attitude, and confidence, this piece represents Alex’s childhood dream of being one of the “Big Six” 90s supermodels. She has created this work alongside deeper research into voguing and drag ball culture, and thanks the queer communities of color who established “Supermodel Realness” as an art form.  

Precipice — Melissa Bobick
In her new work entitled, Precipice, Melissa Bobick returns to the classical ballet vernacular to create a contemporary ballet piece that explores the emotional nuance felt when it is time to set aside something familiar. Through dynamic interplay and the relationships established between the trio of dancers, she paints a picture of the active choice of stepping away, releasing, or shedding that which is known. Sometimes that is the only way we can see what comes next.    

Spells — Molly Heller
Spells cycles through states of dedication, ongoingness, and "pouring your heart out." This trio attunes to collective and individual fervor while revealing the relationship between lighting and magic making, choreographer and performer, and audience and performance.

remember everything that spring can bring (2020 Ballads) — Satu Hummasti & Daniel Clifton2020
Ballads is based on specific memories from the first month of lockdown, gathered from all of the collaborators involved. Memories were crafted into short ballads composed by Daniel Clifton, which are sung by other dance artists in the School of Dance. “Ballads” is a series of solos, that function as memories, glimpses, photos, fragments, brief snapshots into the collective past of Spring 2020, when the world shut down and we were left in a surreal state of suspension.

out-side-in — Ephrat Asherie,Guest Artist 
The pandemic was marked by immense moments of loss, reckoning, self-reflection, introspection, and mountains of other emotions, actions and reactions. How we see ourselves, see ourselves in each other, care for each other and thrive together became precious questions for many. This piece reflects on our hopes of moving, uniting, inspiring, breathing and making art together.

The School of Dance continues its 2021/22 season with Modern Student Concert, featuring original works choreographed, performed, and produced by the students themselves.

“The Student Concert has always provided University of Utah students in the School of Dance a place to present their artistry— a chance for students to flex their choreographic, performance, and production muscles all at once, and together as a group.”

“The Student Concert has always provided University of Utah students in the School of Dance a place to present their artistry— a chance for students to flex their choreographic, performance, and production muscles all at once, and together as a group.” said Ellen Weiler of the Student Concert Committee. "This semester we have choreographers showing their work both live and through screendance. There are also choreographers working with both dancers and painters in a collaboration to bring different arts communities together."

This season’s fall Student Concert production will feature works from Mercedes Rice, Lily Hammons, Shelby Strickler, Jamie Chen, Angeline Bourgeault, Chloe Barry, Anna Kazwell, Alyssa King Charlotte Stehmeyer, Ellie Russel, and Madeline Nelson.

To ensure the health safety of both performers and audience, we are limiting the audience number with an easy RSVP to the show. We hope that this will continue to provide a supportive environment for artists to show their work.

Modern Student Concert hits the stage this week with three showtimes:

Oct. 28 at 7:30 p.m.
Oct. 29 at 7:30 p.m.
Oct. 30 at 7:30 p.m.

The School of Dance will open its 2021/22 season with Fall Dance 1, an eclectic concert running from Oct. 7 – 23 in the Marriott Center for Dance on the University of Utah campus. As concert director and assistant professor, Pablo Piantino noted, “A theatre is no more than bricks and mortar if not for the inhabitants who share an experience within its walls. You, the audience, are an integral part of our artistic process, existence and purpose. It is so nice to have you sharing this magical space with us once more”

The School of Dance, which has traditionally separated its modern dance and ballet works for most of its concerts, has redesigned its season to reflect not only the programming within the shows, but also the leadership and faculty’s commitment to greater diversity and collaboration as a school and community of artists.

The show will be an eclectic artistic experience, highlighting the talent and professionalism of the students and the artistry and expertise of the esteemed faculty and guest artist.

“As faculty, we have a responsibility to introduce and challenge our students to a myriad of movement styles to better reflect the trends occurring in the field of dance,” Piantino said. “The choreographies span a wide range of physical prowess and artistic expression — from exquisite and ethereal ballet vocabulary to grounded and imaginative modern dance movement.

The Details

Fall Dance 1 runs for two weeks. Showtimes are Oct. 7 at 5:30 p.m., Oct. 8 at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 9 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Oct. 21 at 5:30 p.m., Oct. 22 at 7:30 p.m., and Oct. 22 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

From the Choreographers

Threshold – Justine Sheedy-Kramer
Threshold looks at the pathways and gateways that move, restrict, and create opportunities throughout life. The moments where we feel in control and at ease, the moments where we are faced with a lack of control or at the whim of outside forces, and the moments where we rely on others for support to venture into a new space. There are times when the weight of transition holds us down and when we face the journey ahead with anxiety or trepidation. The pathways that we find ourselves on can be long or short, winding or straightforward, exhausting or exhilarating, but is it the journey or the destination that shapes us the most?

The Next Chapter – Bashaun Williams in collaboration with the Dancers
My process is always one geared towards collaboration. I'm always eager to meet and begin a creation after I get a feel for who I am working with. Of course, I have ideas constantly brewing, but the actual process is what allows those ideas to morph and unfold. I like to create a collective vocabulary of movement using my own aesthetic meshed with the ideas the dancers bring individually. This allows us to create a library of movement to draw from and piece together. The possibilities seem to always be endless. This process for me is about transitions. Transitions in life, transitions from one place to another, any and all ideas of what transitioning to something else can be. I've chosen the colors of the sunset to represent the work because I feel that this daily occurrence is a transition we can always count on, but also one that offers uniqueness to time & place each day. 

Sur le Fil – Penny Saunders
One of my goals with Sur le Fil was to maintain a feeling of illusiveness; to not cling too tightly to any particular theme or subject matter. That being said, I did have a few key words and sentiments that were swirling in my head during the creation period. I was extremely intrigued by the mischievousness and inexplicable nature of life, as well as that inevitable, common reality we all share of having personal secrets that we would prefer remain in the dark. 
Originally premiered with Tulsa Ballet 2 on April 13, 2018.

Bound Together - Natalie Desch in collaboration with the Dancers 
The inspiration for this piece came from my pure love of and fascination with libraries. These spaces dedicated to their communities have profound effects on people in many ways. As hallowed spaces holding information, history, and especially the stories of so many, they still contain books that represent one specific version of media. Books contain written languages which are found on paper, which are contained within covers––each existing next to other books on shelves. The books live together, but sometimes are shared with interested borrowers who dive into the meanings, the ideas, and the stories poured into each book––flipping through page after page. The concepts shared from books to readers is another form of connection that can open worlds through time and space. Visiting libraries as the homes of these stories has always given me an awesome sense of wonder and joy. 

Next week is Arts Pass Dash on the University of Utah campus – and there is more than one reason U students should not miss it. 

Let's spell it out. 

What is Arts Pass Dash? 

Arts Pass Dash is a three-day event where students can visit 16 campus locations to learn about arts offerings at the University of Utah, see pop-up performances, get swag, and enter to win prizes. 

Locations include: The 5 academic units of the College of Fine Arts (Art & Art History, Dance, Film & Media Arts, Music, and Theatre), Utah Museum of Fine Arts, UtahPresents, ASUU, Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute, Pioneer Theatre Company, and more!

1. You could win an iPad Pro. 

Just by visiting one of the 16 locations and swiping your UCard, you are entered in a drawing for prizes – and they aren't shabby. The grand prize? An 11' iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard to go with it. Can you imagine?  

2.  You will get free swag. 

T-shirts. Pop sockets. Hand sanitizer. Treats. Reusable coffee mugs. Tickets. 
Each Arts Pass Dash location will be offering swag and goodies to those who drop by. So you won't just get info, you'll get some awesome takeaways. 

3. You will meet lots of friendly faces. 

One of the best things about the arts at the University of Utah are the wonderful people that make them happen. At Arts Pass Dash, you will meet passionate faculty, staff, and students who can answer your questions and get you excited about what's upcoming this semester. Plus, at some of the featured locations you'll see pop-up performances and demonstrations!   

4. You may discover (or renew!) a creative curiosity. Plus, you will learn how to get involved right away. 

Maybe you are someone that is always on top of the latest opening or show. Or maybe you didn't even know you could take ceramics, or classical guitar, or acting as a non-major. Maybe you are looking for ways to meet new friends or get involved around campus. No matter where you're coming from, you will walk away gaining something from Arts Pass Dash. We are certain it will put a pep in your step. 

5. You will learn how to find the arts at the U, and can therefore take advantage of the full campus experience. 

The arts at the University of Utah are not just for College of Fine Arts majors. No matter what you are pursuing, you can participate in the arts through seeing performances, visiting gallery exhibitions, attending screenings, taking non-major courses, auditioning for an ensemble, and more!

The Arts Pass program makes the arts that much more accessible to students through offering free or deeply discounted tickets. By going to Arts Pass Dash, you'll physically familiarize yourself with campus, meet new people, and set yourself up for a year full of creativity, interaction, and engagement. 

 
Okay, I'm in. What do I do?
