MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — MTSU’s dance students, faculty and
guest artists are celebrating a fresh new season at the annual Spring Dance Concert, which is set
Thursday through Saturday, April 20-22, in the university’s Tucker Theatre.
Performances begin
at 7 each evening. General-admission tickets for the Spring Dance Concert are
$10 for adults and $5 for K-12 students and MTSU staff. MTSU students will be
admitted free with a valid student ID.
This year’s Spring
Dance Concert will once again highlight original choreographic works from MTSU
dance faculty and selected students and from guest artist Banning Bouldin, an internationally recognized choreographer and
artistic director of the Nashville-based New Dialect company, who visited the
MTSU Dance Program in March.
The event also will
feature pieces that display the scope of MTSU’s dance training and the talents
of the university’s dance faculty in contemporary ballet, jazz and modern
dance.
MTSU dance faculty member
Meg Brooker has restaged three
original Isadora Duncan choreographies, presented as “Suite from Orfeo ed
Eurydice,” for the spring dance concert. Marsha
Barsky, artistic director of MTSU Dance Theatre, will present an excerpt of
“Leaving Home,” a piece she choreographed that also features music by MTSU jazz
faculty members Jamey Simmons and Don Aliquo.
The program also
will include works by dance faculty Jennifer
McNamara, Windship Boyd and Chell
Parkins and by MTSU senior Amber
Jordan.
“The MTSU Dance
Theatre aims to enrich our campus and local community’s appreciation of concert
dance by providing high-quality performances,” Barsky said. “The Spring Dance
Concert reflects the dynamic range and diversity of our program.”
Tickets can be
purchased online at http://www.mtsuarts.com
