Student choreographers perform works Nov. 2-4

The UW Dance Program‘s Fall Student Concert Nov. 2-4 will feature original choreography by eight Dance Program students.

The program starts at 8 p.m. each evening in the Margaret H’Doubler Performance Space, Lathrop Hall, 1050 University Ave.

The choreographers, motivated by topics such as self-discovery, domestic abuse, power struggles and feminism, also explore various movement structures in their works including improvisation, modern dance, and hip hop, among others.

The works include solos by Megan McCoy, junior, Sussex, Wis.; Tara Nicole Stamm, senior, Oak Creek, Wis.; and Nora Stephens, senior, Brookline, Mass.

A duet features Kelley Radermacher, junior, Chaska, Minn., and Elena Schmeeckle, junior, Stevens Point, Wis.; and group works by Rya Beilke, senior, Jefferson, Wis.; Tamra Bisbee, senior, McFarland, Wis., Joana DaCosta, junior, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Stephens.

“The student choreographers show a variety of styles and range of movement in this program,” says dance professor and concert coordinator Jin-Wen Yu. “Each has chosen special music, text, video, costumes, props or dancers they feel will reveal the intentions of their works best. And they succeed very well.”

Tickets: $8 students and senior citizens, $10 general public, Wisconsin Union Theater Box Office, 800 Langdon St., 262-2201, or at the door. For more information, call (608) 262-1691.
