MOVING STORIES
Showcase of Original Student Choreography
November 12-14 | Baker Theatre

"Serv(es) up one emotionally charged moment after another."
- Lehigh Valley Source

"(The) choreographers were able to effectively navigate the subtleties of mixing
complex choreographic intent with engaging entertainment."
-The Muhlenberg Weekly

It features twelve unique dance pieces choreographed by Olivia Alvarez, Emily Daly, Katie Fierro, Rebecca Haverson, Aubrey Kupstas, Lynn Lisella, Laura Mayerson, Dana McGowan, Carolina Millard, Michele Sasso, Ashley Sleeth, and Ashley Taylor—all students enrolled in the dance program.

These up and coming choreographers have already presented previous work in Informal Concerts and completed courses in dance composition.  Selected for this project after submitting a written and oral proposal of their piece, the students have worked closely with faculty mentorship throughout the experience. 

“This year's concert offers an exciting variety of dynamic themes: from ancestral homage to relationship healing to drinking culture, there is truly something for everyone,” said Sarah Carlson.

Audiences should expect artistic risk-taking, including the use of props like ladders and live music.
