The cast of Orchesis 19/20 would like to personally invite you to the annual contemporary dance concert at Ohio Wesleyan University. This year’s production will be on the Main Stage of Chappelear Drama Center 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. As a trio, the 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. An informal discussion with choreographers and a reception will follow the Friday night performance.
Tickets are FREE for OWU students! A reception will follow each performance. To reserve tickets, please contact Beth Beach at (740) 368-3855 or email thtrdnce@owu.edu.
See you at the show!
