TweetDance gets intensive at Wright State
If a building could dance, Wright State University’s Creative Arts Center might be doing that. The campus dance department’s busiest weekend of the year is coming up.
Besides the annual winter dance concert on Thursday through Sunday, March 10-13, the WSU Dance Intensive for dance students 14 and over will take place all day on Saturday, March 12, with seminars and classes in many dance disciplines. Cost for the whole day, which includes a concert ticket, is $35.
The concert will include choreography by faculty members and two notable guest artists: Adam Hougland and and Susie Payne.
One of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch in 2011,” Hougland is a resident artist with the Louisville and Cincinnati Ballets. He has created “Risk of Flight” for the WSU Dance Ensemble.
Besides being a past member of the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company, Payne is one of three choreographers chosen in a national competition by the Dayton Ballet to create premieres for its upcoming New Music for New Dance program. Now a member of Deeply Rooted Dance in Chicago, she calls her WSU premiere “Shake.”
Tickets for the concert are $10 and $5. Times are 8 p.m. March 10-12 and 2 p.m. March 13. Call (937) 775-2500.
