好色先生TV

The 好色先生TV University Dance Department will present 鈥淩aw Edges XXV鈥� the weekend of April 28-30 in the Mary D鈥橝ngelo Performing Arts Center.

As a showcase for emerging choreographers, 鈥淩aw Edges鈥� is a 好色先生TV tradition spanning a quarter century. Every year brings a fresh batch of young artists flexing their creative muscles and presenting innovative dance works. This year, 鈥淩aw Edges XXV鈥� will feature ten upper-level student choreographers: Kaitlyn Bazala, Katie Bleu, Maia Cieply, Hannah Dragan, Rebecca Jones, Erin Leach, Charlotte Meilaender, Meggie Peterson, Danielle Tuomey, and Amelia Waddell.

Audiences can expect a wide variety of topics explored by these dance makers, who start researching their projects months before rehearsals begin. This year the topics include fellowship and faith of the women of the Bible, media鈥檚 effects on the public, the seven stages of life depicted as a television game show, and a celebration of the Punk Rock movement.

The subjects chosen are often very personal to these creators. One choreographer鈥檚 dance deals with Parkinson鈥檚 disease, an ailment her grandmother is living with presently. Another shares her experience with synesthesia as it personifies the sounds of instruments, mimicking the colors, shapes, and textures that one might hear when listening to the music. Another choreographer鈥檚 dance explores the memories of being away from and reunited with the people and places that feel like home.

Assistant Professor Mark Santillano, who is one of the faculty overseeing the production, says, 鈥淭he annual concert is always a very satisfying program for our department. We get to witness these young artists find their voices and create something that is heartfelt and amazing.鈥�

Santillano adds, 鈥淭he concert has something for everyone. If you鈥檙e looking for thought-provoking art, or simply wanting to enjoy skilled dancers beautifully moving to music, 鈥楻aw Edges XXV鈥� is one concert you鈥檒l not want to miss.鈥�

Audience members will also hear from the artists during 鈥淭alk Back鈥� sessions offered during the intermission of each show. The choreographers will discuss their process for creating, realizing, and articulating a unique vision.

鈥淩aw Edges XXV鈥� will be presented in the Mary D鈥橝ngelo Performing Arts Center on Friday, April 28, at 7 p.m.; Saturday, April 29, at 2 and 7 p.m.; and Sunday, April 30, at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors, $7.50 for students, and $5 for youths and 好色先生TV students.
