Season at a Glance

September 2013: Cecil Andrew and Adeleine Ewing Fund

The Department of Theatre and Dance present The Cecil Andrew and Adeleine Ewing Fund performance by Pam Tanowitz.

Students in the Dance Theatre Group (DTG) perform the work of our guest choreographer in residence, Pam Tanowitz.  A Bessie Award-winning choreographer, Tanowitz's boundary-breaking treatment of classical dance is both eerily familiar and distinctly contemporary.  There are echoes of dance history in her work, which references Petipa, Balanchine, Robbins, Cunningham and Graham, among others, but her theatrical force is entirely her own.

October 2013: A Flea in Her Ear

The departments of Theatre and Dance present the Georges Feydeau's classic French farce of marital mayhem.  This masterpiece is chock-full of mistaken identities, slamming doors-and revolving beds!  When sex-crazed Madame Raymonde believes that her buttoned-down husband is being unfaithful, she sets up an elaborate ruse to entrap him at the Frisky Puss Hotel, thus setting in motion a series of unintended, uproarious consequences that few comedy writers have ever matched. Laugh, laugh and laugh some more.

November 2013: The Dance Show

So, You Think You Can Dance, Dancing with the Stars, dances during Super Bowl half-time shows, even Michelle Obama's "mom" dance - these are just a few examples that demonstrate the dance explosion we are witnessing in popular culture.  Tapping into that age-old debate between techne and poesis, craft and art, The Dance Show promises to be complex and mesmerizing as it explores these issues. Joining us will be one of the most exciting choreographers currently working in New York, Pam Tanowitz, our Ewing Fund special guest artist, who will choreograph for the DTG students.  Also joining us will be the 1997 alumna Bliss Kohlmyer, now Assistant Professor at University of South Florida, who will return to choreograph a student-performed work.  Post-graduate fellow in dance, Dina Verley-Christophe will create a collaborative project between DTG and other dance groups on campus.  Curated by Sarah Skaggs, Director of Dance at Dickinson, The Dance Show promises to be mesmerizing, poetic, and awe inspiring.
