Spring Dance Concert

Featuring works by guest artists Doug Varone and Jody Sperling. Mr. Varone is one of the most exciting and influential modern dance choreographers of our time. His work explores the full range of human emotions through movement that can change from calm and lyrical to wild and turbulent in the blink of an eye. Ms. Sperling's choreography is inspired by the early 20th century dancer and innovator, Loie Fuller, a pioneering American choreographer who used flowing white silk and the new medium of electrical stage lighting to create magical environments for dance. Rounding out the program will be works by faculty members Robin Becker, Stormy Brandenberger and Anita Feldman.
