2016 Spring Dance Concert

The 2016 Spring Dance Concert "Repertory in (Re)Search" will be presented by the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences department of dance. Also to be April 8-9 at 8 p.m. and April 10 at 2:30 p.m. The concert will feature repertory pieces that are meant to reflect the kind of moving research that elevates the performing arts, as dance intersects with technology, gender, somatics and aesthetics.

"Repertory in Re(Search)" brings together faculty, guest choreographers and UGA undergraduate students, many of whom are completing Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Arts or minors in dance, for a penultimate performance of pieces that choreographers have been rehearsing with dancers since the beginning of the fall semester.

Incorporating tap, ballet, contemporary, modern and ballroom dance styles with social commentary, the concert will offer a cutting edge reflection of the highly varied world of dance. Choreography was created by department faculty and guest choreographer Marianne Hale, a UGA department of dance graduate and Ballet Program Director at Studio Dance Academy in Athens. The concert will also include a tribute piece choreographed by Kennet Oberly, a world-renowned professional choreographer and guest artist in residence at UGA in 2008-2009 who passed away in early 2016. He choreographed "Within/Without," a piece that will remain as a part of the ballet repertoire as his artistic legacy at UGA.

$16; $12 for students
