Graduate Concert

Come Join The Fun...

Join us this weekend the 20,21, and 22nd of November for Identities In Transition. This concert will be the culmination of choreography by graduate students at the University of Utah. The program will consist of works by Ms. Monica Campbell, Mr. Juan Carlos Claudio, Ms. Corinne Cappelletti, and Ms. Emily Fifer. In this exciting evening of dance the choreographers explore themes of cultural and personal identity and mythology, the subject matter and movement contained within are as diverse and thought provoking as the choreographers themselves. Come with us and experience the work of four professional dance artists as they return to academia to explore, question and challenge topics ranging from: Notions of home and place, ideas of collapse in a post 9/11 society, and the role that relationships play in the creation of identity.

Fall PDC is upon us...

The Fall PDC concert dives into the complexities of being human, both in solitude and within our desire to connect to others. The evening is filled with complex and visceral works created by faculty members Abby Fiat and Eric Handman as well as works by guest artists Gabri Christa and Charlotee Boye-Christensen. The Fall Concert demonstrates a range of human emotion and experience.  Each work presented is unique and dynamic, but they all share themes of humans trying to relate to one another and themselves.

 PDC Approaches...

Performing Dance Company's Spring Concert slips into the surreal as choreographer Carly Allred examines devolution as the dancers revert to a primal state.  Pamela Geber transports five women into a sexy, akward and slightly askew reality.  Animation, movement and images uncover vulnerability and connection in a collaborative work by Satu Hummasti and Lien Fan Shen. Stephen Koester explores the subtle shades of language, emotion and the human connection.  The reconstruction of Schubert* highlights Murray Louis's influenctial and stylized technique accompanied by alumni from the School of Musics. 

*The reconstruction of Schubert is made possible by the Marriner S. Eccles Foundation.
