As we creep into spring, it’s not only the blossoms that are blooming.
Eugene’s vivacious professional performance arts community has
a ton of great events coming up, but make sure not to overlook the
equally talent-packed student-produced ones. The Lane Community
College Dance Program is putting on “The Works” May 18-20. A cul-
mination of year-long choreographic and performance studies, “The
Works” is an annual student dance concert, which provides a venue
for dance students to create and perform work, according to LCC’s
website. The annual show has been going on for over 20 years. Bon-
nie Simoa, LCC’s lead dance faculty, tells Eugene Weekly via email
that the “Lane dance program has an exceptionally talented group of
students this year.” For its 2017 edition, “The Works” includes perfor-
mances from 11 student choreographers, who will also perform as
dancers. Proceeds from the show help support Lane dance student
scholarships.
“The Works” is at 7:30 pm Thursday through Saturday, May 18-20, in
the Ragozzino Performance Hall on the LCC main campus. Tickets are
$5 general admission. Advance tickets are available online at lanecc.
