The cast and crew of Orchesis 19/20 invite you and your students to their annual contemporary dance concert. This year’s production will be on the Chappelear Main Stage on Fri., Nov. 15 at 8 p.m. and Sat., Nov. 16 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. The show features 13 dancers and eight contemporary dance pieces created by students, faculty, and a guest choreographer.
Guest choreographer Megan Davis Bushway’s work, “Yellow Suite,” is an abstract landscape set to selections from Moondog’s album, Sax Pax for a Sax. A trio of dancers capture sonic textures from the musical score with sweeping phrase work and swift gestures. At once, they are individual voices and a unified ensemble.
The show also features the choreography of students Miah Gruber, Taylor Frasure, Maggie Welsh, Ellie Bearss, Tess Meddings, Anne Raspe, and dance faculty Rashana Perks Smith.
Faculty and staff will be admitted at no charge Friday. An informal discussion with choreographers and a reception will follow the Friday night performance. To reserve tickets, please contact Beth Beach at (740) 368-3855 or thtrdnce@owu.edu.
(Tickets are $10 for general admission and $5 for senior citizens, Ohio Wesleyan employees and non-OWU students with valid student IDs. OWU students are always admitted for free.)
Hope to see you at the show!
