The ensembles will show viewers how they collaborate while pursuing unique goals and ideas. DancEnsemble, whose mission is to “mentor and produce student-choreographed work,” according to Monson, will perform a work choreographed by student Emily Hart. The ensembles will also perform a work featuring collaboration between musician Nate Anderson and the dancers, who will create the musical score as they perform.
In addition to ensembles’ work, the concert will showcase faculty research and expertise. Professor Adam Dyer
The repertoire will extend beyond student performers and faculty work with a piece that features a group of freshman dancers, a capstone work by a senior in Dance Education and “Genesis,” a work by Professor Roper featuring 20 contemporary dance alumni.
