Jaymi Dreiling, a member of the Oregon Dance Project and a 1998 University graduate, receives a ‘wigcut’ in preparation for her Friday
performance. The dancers wear identical wigs to show unity, yet different clothing to represent individuality.

the stereotypes associated with tra
ditional ballet or jazz.
“These artists have produced an
innovative repertoire of original
dance performances,” said Moore,
who is also the owner of The Pilates
Center, located inside the Eugene
Swim and Tennis Club.
With five of the seven original
founders still involved in the third
year of the performance, the project
offers a wide variety in styles of
dance and choreography featuring
more than seven dance companies
from the community.
“Recalling a Serenade,” choreo
graphed by Moore and Kimberley
Huber, is a female dance trio, con
sisting of the choreographers them
selves along with fellow dancer Jay
mi Dreiling, in a combination of
flamenco postures and sweeping
body movements. Dreiling is a 1998
graduate of the University.
Huber is a senior at the University
majoring in landscape architecture.
But this term, instead of attending
classes, she’s applying herself to an
internship with the architecture firm
Stangeland and Associates and danc
ing on the side. Huber said she loves
the balance of dance and architecture
in her life because “it’s all spatial.”
She encouraged students and fac
ulty to attend because the perform
ance showcases groups of dancers
who have concentrated on single
types of contemporary choreogra
phy that differs from the well-bal
anced dance program on campus.
As dancer Marianne Gardner
tugged at the corners of her wig, she
explained that she’s excited for the
show because she hasn’t been on
stage in six years, taking some time
off to give birth to her last child.
“I like the physical aspect and the
emotional aspect of expressing the
emotional through the physical,” said
Gardner, as she explained that teach
ing dance, fitness and choreography
is what she does for a living.
Moore, Huber, Gardner, Dreiling
and Jimaca Vawter will take the stage
together in a dance called “Rolling,”
choreographed by Moore and Huber.
Moore and Huber have choreographed
together for five years, and danced with
each other for seven years.
“We’ve know each other forever,”
said Moore, who has lived in Rose
burg since 1985.
Moore worked closely with stage
manager Cheryl Lemmer on Thurs
day to ensure that Lemmer knew
the visual cues for the timing of the
lights during the music that accom
panies the dancing. Lemmer, who
helped to found the Zapp Dance
Company, said a critical part of
making sure the performance runs
smoothly is to make sure the light
ing technicians know their cues.
But for Moore, once it’s show
time, she said she just can’t wait for
her feet to meet the floor.
“I like to perform,” she said. “It’s a
natural high where you get to show
someone something — your danc
ing or your choreography. ”
