Spring Dance Concert 2024

Director’s Notes

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2024 Spring Dance Concert! This production consists of six original choreographic works by faculty members and guest artists. The running time is approximately 75-minutes with no intermission. Each piece is exquisite and unique, but they all fit together in a cohesive way. Congratulations to all who contributed to this production on the stage, behind the scenes, around the costume shop, on Zoom meetings, inside the studios, through administrative work, in the lobby, and all the spaces in between. Many thanks to you all for attending the Spring Dance Concert. Enjoy the show!

Special Thanks

Many thanks to Kimberly Rippy, David McGraw, Tiffaney Coleman, the House Management team, the Theatrical Design & Technology students/faculty/staff, choreographers, understudies, assistants, performers, designers, audience, and everyone involved in this production!
