Students create dance fusion

University student Brittany Sidoff will perform a dance choreographed by senior Sarah
Nelson at the Winter Student Dance Concert, which premiers Feb. 12.
The 2004 Winter Student
Dance Concert features nine
works, all choreographed by
University dance students

The Department of Dance will
present nine student-choreographed
works this weekend in "Dance in Fu
sion," the 2004 Winter Student
Dance Concert. The annual produc
tion allows dance students not only
to choreograph, but also design,
publicize and run a professional-lev
el show.
Associate Dance Professor Walter
Kennedy said anyone who com
pletes the three required dance
courses is eligible to choreograph
for the show. Choreographers enroll
in a fall course titled "Student
Dance Concert" and hold auditions
in October. Although each choreog
rapher is assigned a faculty adviser,
the dance department staff lets stu
dents orchestrate the concert mostly
on their own.
"Our goal is to throw them out of
the nest and see how well they can
fly," Kennedy said.
He said this year's routines include
a dark, theatrical piece; a
percussion-filled Brazilian number; a
hip-hop piece; and a ballroom-style
duet which evokes a "battle of the sex
es" feeling.
Senior dance major Sarah Nel
son composed a trio, "Sleek Trini
ty," using a fusion of lyrical, jazz
and ballet styles based around two
ballet barres placed on stage. The
three dancers, donning red leo
tards and black tights, induce a
day in a dance classroom to music
from the "Twin Peaks" soundtrack
and the song "Exodo" by an un
known artist.
"It shows the competitive feelings
in the world of dance," Nelson said.
"Sometimes the dancers are interact
ing and sometimes they're in their
own elements. The whole dance is
sultry. It's very sassy."
Choreographer Jillian Kacalek,
also a senior dance major, used a
combination of genres in her piece
as well. "Feel the Groove," her
dance trio, will mix ballet, jazz,
hip-hop and modern to the songs

"We want to bring films to a re
gional audience that they couldn't
usually see," NWFC marketing
manager Thomas Phillipson said.
"We want to bring in the views of
other cultures."
The festival has gained a growing
respect and popularity over the
years, drawing in more than 30,000
attendees a year, according to
Phillipson.
Drawing from a year's worth of
screening films and checking out oth
