More than any other concert presented by The College at Brockport’s Department of Dance, DANCE/Strasser involves the audience as a part of the creative process. Each performance is followed by a talkback during which comments from the audience can help the choreographers further enrich their pieces.The performances of these newly choreographed student works will be Tuesday through Thursday, October 13–15, 2009, at 7:30 pm in the Rose L. Strasser Studio, Hartwell Hall, Kenyon Street, on the Brockport campus.
Mariah Maloney, the artistic director for the concert, feels “without an audience, performers would be performing in a vacuum.” is well aware of the process, having been a guest artist at the College, and now returning as a member of the faculty. Watching the pieces in DANCE/Strasser take form, she sees the choreographers’ dedication: “each work is approached with such artistry and commitment.” Choreographers showing works include Sarah Elizabeth Bennett, Trent Furnace, Rebecca McArthur, Devon Monin, Jessica Moore, Zurisaday Moreno, Kathleen Reagan, Maggi An Wilson and Mariko Yamada.
Tickets are $12 General, $10/Seniors, College at Brockport Faculty and Staff and $8/Students and are available by phone at (585) 395-ARTS or at the Tower Fine Arts Center Box Office, 180 Holley Street, Brockport.
