HATTIESBURG—The
Southern Miss Repertory Dance Company will present its Spring Dance
Concert at 7:30 p.m. each evening March 23-25 at the Mannoni Performing
Arts Center. The concert consists of eight dances created by faculty
and dance majors.
The dances combine
to reflect the diversity of artistic perspectives that the dance
program has displayed over the years.
Associate professor
Stacy Reischman has created a new work based on basketball. “I tried
to capture the spontaneity and physicality of sport, specifically
basketball,” she explained. Court Dance is accompanied
by an original score composed by Todd Reischman.
Traceforms,
choreographed by associate professor Shellie C. Nielsen, uses the
concepts of flying, falling, and changing relationships throughout
her work. Music for this work is by DJ Shadow. Nielsen called this
work “a true collaboration between the choreographer and her cast.
Each dancer contributed imagery and ideas, resulting from moving
within the piece, that are uniquely their own as well as the collective.”
Assistant professor
Julie Hammond's work, Let Me Count the Ways, is homage
to the many stages of love. The music and the movement combine many
styles, bringing this story alive and welcoming the audience to
recall their own experiences.
Visiting guest
artist in dance, Sarah Carlson, presents Portal, a new
dance that investigates multiple layers of experience. Rolling doorframes
provide an intriguing architectural texture to the space that gradually
evolves into a kaleidoscope of discovery.
Unraveling,
choreographed by dance major Shelley Manry, emphasizes the athletic
beauty of movement through the work of featured dancers Kimmie Allen
and Kristin Marlette. The dance focuses on athletic and technical
form.
Tickets for
each show of the series are $6 for students; $10 for Southern Miss
faculty, staff, alumni and senior citizens; and $12 for general
admission. For tickets, call the Southern Miss Ticket Office at
601.266.5418 or 800.844.8425. Order online at www.usm.edu/tickets.
