Features Iconic Modern Choreography
A showcase of talent, versatility, and virtuosity the College Spring Dance Concert program presents a wide range of exciting dance works – two classics by modern dance masters and four contemporary premieres. Martha Graham’s powerful and dramatic work from 1936, Prelude to Action, created just prior to WWII invokes the need for unity in forging the future. Another highlight of the concert, set to a lively jazz score, is Session for Six – choreographed in 1958 by Anna Sokolow, a master of early modern dance. In addition, Darshan Singh Bhuller’s (Mapping #1) which utilizes video technology to turn the stage space and the conventions of choreography literally upside down will premier as well Gerard Ebitz’s They Came from the North, a playful, skillfully executed theatrical dance that humorously invokes grade-B sci-fi films and the world of early 1960’s television. Arnold Quintane’s new work for NWSA dancers is a study in classic minimalism, set to a driving electronic musical score while Josée Garant has made a new dance, Short Stories, which brings the story, the storyteller, the book, and the pages of the story alive in movement.
